With the temperatures dropping and the levels of snow rising, battling the elements without a home to protect you is a nightmare to think about.
Sadly, this nightmare has become a harsh and cold reality for a man in Phoenix NY whose home was a flame on Monday evening.
The fire ensued in the 100 block of Huntley Road in the village of Phoenix, in Oswego County.
Volunteer firefighters from Phoenix, Baldwinsville, Caughdenoy, Cody, Liverpool, Moyers Corners and Volney responded to the call at 33 Elm Street and said the house was “fully involved,” in flames.
The Oswego County Cause and Origin Team also is at the scene.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.

Let’s Talk – program
by Jake Vanderbroek, WTOP10-TV
Students have a new program to turn to if they are stressed, anxious, feeling unorganized, or have relationship problems. ‘Let’s Talk’ is a Counseling Center Outreach Program designed to connect students by providing informal walk-in consultations with a counselor. This is considered different from counseling and is not a “clinical service.”
There is no formal intake, no appointments and no fees. People who have issues to talk about should take advantage of this new opportunity said Katherine Wolfe. “Students are encouraged to stop by and talk about what has been making an impact on their behavior. Once a connection is made and the process is exposed, it’s much easier to make a referral for formal counseling,” said Wolfe.
Sessions will be held every Wednesday from 3:30-5:00 PM in Johnson Hall Room 141 and from 6:00-7:30 pm in Oneida Hall (across the elevators on the first floor.) Additional sites, days, and hours may be added on other parts of campus.

Women’s hockey remains undefeated, begin conference play
This past weekend the women’s hockey team started conference play and looked to continue their winning streak.
On Friday, the team had their first of two games vs. Chatham. This was the first ECAC West play for both teams. Just a little over two minutes into the game, Brennan Butler scored a short-handed goal and put the Lakers on the board. Chatham would tie the game in the second period. Alexa Aramburu would score the game-winning goal for the Lakers. The Lakers took game one by the score of 2-1.
On Saturday, the team had their second game vs. Chatham. In front of the homecoming crowd, the Lakers would get their first shoutout win of the year by defeating Chatham 6-0. The team combined to have three power play goals with Olivia Ellis providing two of those goals.
After this weekend of play, the Lakers improved to 4-0 on the year and 2-0 in the conference. The Lakers will play Cortland at home on Saturday and Sunday.

Lakers hockey is back in action
By Jackson Berner
For all of the hockey fans in Oswego County, your months-long wait is finally at it’s end. Laker hockey returns this weekend with exhibition games for both the men’s and women’s programs. on Saturday the women’s team faces the Toronto Midget Arrows and are looking to improve upon last year’s successful regular season that saw them knocked out of the ECAC West Championship chase in the first round.
The men might have an even more bitter taste in their mouth after last season which they’ll begin to cure on Saturday against the CCHL all-graduate team. They went 21-6-1 en route to the first overall seed in the conference…only to lose at home to Plattsburgh in the SUNYAC Championship. From there they went on to get knocked out of the NCAA tournament in the first round by Hamilton. The games start at 3 and 7 p.m. respectively.
