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.

by Stefanie SciolaroOswego, NY- Rudy’s Lakeside Drive-In Restaurant did not let a snow storm get in the way of opening its doors for the season. The restaurant was scheduled to open on Mar. 15. However, due to the massive snowfall that hit parts of Central New York, the date was pushed back by one day.“We were hoping to open as planned. But with the weather the way it was and all the travel advisories, we decide to hold off for a day,” Doug Appleman said. Appleman has been a part of the Rudy’s family for over 20 years.“Nature just would not cooperate. Doug and I were here – just in case some people showed up,” Rudy’s General Manager Jason Livesey said.The 2017 opening marks the restaurant’s seventy-first year in business. Rudy’s first opened its door in 1946 as an open-air stand with outdoor seating. It later expanded as the favorite restaurant it is today for many Oswego residents.For more information, visit Rudy’s Lakeside Drive-In’s website. -
SUNY Oswego’s Campus Technology Services hosts Cyber Awareness Month
By Michael Allchin
OSWEGO, N.Y.– SUNY Oswego’s Campus Technology Services hosts Cyber Awareness Month in the month of October. This Month is dedicated to the security of mobile devices and computers for students and staff on campus. Events have been held for various forms of cyber security and are open to anybody.
The Campus Technology Support urges everyone to be cautious of all your devices to avoid any further cyber-attacks. Some examples of suspicious cyber behavior include phishing emails or scams sent by people who are attempting to hack others on campus.
Campus Technology Services Help Desk Assistant Ian said he wanted to remind students not to open or respond to suspicious emails, and to always check the source.
“One of the ones I thought was pretty convincing was a phishing email where they took our header and all they simply did was give you a link that said please log in here to confirm your account but when you clicked the link, it wouldn’t actually bring you to any of our sites or anywhere in Oswego. It basically brought to a page that looked like a log in and asked you for your username and password,” Lenich said.
To receive more information, you can reach out to the Campus Technology Services Help Desk or you can be reach services at help@oswego.edu or 315-312-3456.
