Oswego begins World War I remembrance project
By Victoria Costa
Oswego, N.Y.– City Historian Mark Slosek and a group of volunteers are working on a project that commemorates World War I. The group wants to refresh and improve monuments with the help of the city Veterans’ Council, Oswego American Legion, and Oswego Department of Works.
The local and county veterans’ groups will assist in identifying World War I veterans graves. On Memorial Day 2018, the graves will be marked with a flag and traditional poppy flower.
On November 11, 2018, Armistice Day, the group wants to encourage the clergy to give “Promise of Peace” sermons and to encourage community “Bells To Ring” at 11AM to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the war.
“We hope this will help people remember and help our youth remember what an important event World War I was,” Slosek said.
The group received a favorable recommendation from members of the Common Council when they presented the plan.

Robbers can’t Master the Snow
Snow on snow on snow; Oswego County residents sure have seen and felt their fair share of it this year. It delays plans, freezes bones, and even tells a story.
A Byrne Dairy in the town of Hastings was robbed by two 17 year olds, forceful enough to steal what they wanted, but not smart enough to cover their tracks. Literally.
Oswego County sheriff’s deputies tracked the culprits’ footprints through the snow back to 116 Roxbury Estates, a trailer park not too far from the held up Byrne Dairy.
Frank J. Burt and Jeremy L. Champney, both 17, have been charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and fourth-degree conspiracy.
Robbery in the first degree is the taking of anything of value by the use of force or intimidation. Second-degree robbery is the taking of anything of value and the offender intentionally inflicts serious bodily injury. Champney was also charged with resisting arrest.
No reports on what exactly was stolen have been released, but deputies have returned the stolen property from the Byrne Dairy.
The Hansel and Gretel duo will be arraigned in town court within the coming weeks.
