The Oswego State women’s lacrosse team defeated the RIT Tigers by a score of 15-13 on Monday. With the win, the Lakers move to 2-0 overall while the Tigers drop to 0-1.
Oswego found themselves down early in the game as they trailed 3-1. They would respond though with a 9-0 run led by Toni Laneve and Brigid Regin. While it seemed at times the Lakers would seal the game, the Tigers kept clawing their way back in it. RIT outscored Oswego by four goals in the second half but fell just short.
Regin led all scorers with a game-high five goals while Laneve added a hat trick. Oswego’s Teresa Shattuck played a part in seven of the team’s scores with three goals and four assists.
The Lakers will head on the road for the first time this season to take on Clarkson University on Wednesday. Face-off is scheduled for 4 pm.

Barlow proposes lower sewer bills for some city residents

City of Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow proposed a $50 reduction to the sewer bill for flat-rate users. According to the mayor’s office, if approved, flat rate users would see their sewer bill decrease a total of $350 over the past five years.
“Further reducing the sewer bill for flat rate users is a well-deserved give-back to city residents who have paid too much in sewer fees due to the failures of previous administrations,” said Mayor Barlow, in a press release. “The work our wastewater department, economic development department, and smart budgeting and strategic thinking has allowed for two previous rate decreases and we are happy to continue that trend by further relieving residents with this proposed decrease.”
The proposed $50 reduction follows two previous annual reductions: a $200 decrease in 2019 and a $100 decrease in 2021.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the Administrative Services Committee will vote on the proposal at Oswego City Hall. If it passes, the Common Council will hold a full vote on Monday, September 11th.

New Year, New Set
Big things in store for the spring semester as improvements keep coming for the WTOP-10 TV studio
After all the talk about the new equipment that came along with our recent HD upgrade, e-board and management now prepare for a whole new look in front of the camera. It’s out with the old and in with the new for our studio’s set!
Before leaving for winter break, the old set pieces were either torn down and discarded, or saved and put in the engineering closet for possible future use
With wires all across the news desk and old set pieces around, clean out and clean up will continue for Vice President of Productions, Ian Dwyer ‘17 and Vice President of Engineering Nick Costanzo ‘18 for the remainder of winter break.
Rochester based company Uniset will be delivering the set’s pieces, while Dwyer and Costanzo will be installing them. The new set will allow for a lot of customizability; with panels that are interchangeable and wheels that it can move around on. This means that news, original productions, and sports original productions will be able to tailor the set based on the format of their show. Along with new panels, comes a new desk. There will be four different table tops that are easy to change and adjust based on each show’s needs and wants.

“I think this new set is going to really allow WTOP to grow and allow each show to express themselves and the theme of their show even more”, Vice President of Productions, Ian Dwyer ‘17 says.
Dwyer and Costanzo hope to have the set fully built by the end of January 2017 before students arrive back on campus for the semester.
