Oswego DA Relives Games with Harlem Globetrotters
Oswego County District Attorney John Elliott recalls two seasons with the Washington Generals as they barnstormed the United States and abroad against the Harlem Globetrotters. He describes playing against legends like Connie Hawkins and Meadowlark Lemon, the foreign crowds, and the eventual decision to leave the road to pursue law, while noting the Globetrotters’ lasting appeal and his current life in Oswego County with family.

Leftover funds eyed to install courthouse railings
County Buildings and Grounds Commissioner Frank Ballard said about 33000 dollars would cover brass railings for the Onondaga County Courthouse front steps and main entrance. He urged a January committee vote on whether to order the railings and reopen the steps next span as work nears completion.
