OGDENSBURG – Deputy Mayor John Rishe with some help from fellow councilors has drafted a 30-page Community Development Plan which he hopes will be reviewed by the planning board and the public in coming months with adoption anticipated this summer.
Rishe called for such a plan not long after being elected, but with a focus on cutting costs, preparing such a document is typically a pricey endeavor. Rishe, who serves as an economic developer at the OBPA, decided to take action on his own.
The document addresses economic development and job creation, waterfront redevelopment, downtown redevelopment, tourism, housing, historic preservation, recreation, transportation, education, arts and culture, New York State facilities and the tax rate.

As is probably more widely known than ever before, Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr in 1804. The following year, architect Samuel McIntire completed work on the stately Federal-style structure on Chestnut Street that bears the first secretary of the treasury’s name.
Hamilton Hall is amid its 75th year of hosting the Lecture Series on World Affairs. This year’s eight-person roster again includes a mix of returning and first-time speakers from some of the East Coast’s most illustrious centers of intellectual activity.

Hip-hop: the story so far The story of hip-hop’s official “birth” has become the stuff of legends: On Aug. 11, 1973, the Bronx’s Jamaican-born Clive Campbell, better known as DJ Kool Herc, hosted a back-to-school party at 1520 Sedgewick Ave. Serving snacks and drinks catered by his parents, Herc spun funk and soul jams in a darkened rec room basement. What transpired that night has been widely cited as a pinnacle moment in the history of hip-hop.
WSU testing wastewater for COVID on campus
FAIRBORN Wright State University is participating in a state-funded wastewater sampling program to detect the presence of COVID-19 on the Dayton and Lake campuses.
Sampling wastewater can help the university to catch the coronavirus early and prevent an outbreak of COVID-19 in the Wright State community. The sampling effort is focused on residential halls on both campuses.
Numerous colleges around the United States are testing wastewater to detect the coronavirus on their campuses. For instance, wastewater sampling helped the University of Arizona prevent an outbreak in one dorm last fall when follow-up testing found two asymptomatic students.
