The Babbie Museum is a great place for children

By John T. Ryan

The Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum participated in the Press Republican’s 4th Annual Museum Day on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Leeward Babbie and other family members were on hand with live demonstrations and museum tours. When this reporter visited Todd Babbie was demonstrating the shingle shake mill powered by a 1945 Farmall H. A blacksmith was forging a letter opener from a steel rod and Audrey Falcon was showing visitors household tools used in the North Country over 100 years ago.  Young people were enjoying Chilly and Willy, the two beautiful Haflinger horses in the museum corral.  Here are a few photos of today’s Gazette visit to the museum.  Here are photos during an earlier visit.

A message from Peru Town Supervisor Peter Glushko

I have decided to postpone the Workshop scheduled for Wednesday, June 1, 2011 so we can be better prepared to deal with the water quality situation. We will have better information by the end of next week to enable us to more effectively deal with this issue. We will reschedule this meeting at the next Town Board Meeting. I will ensure that the appropriate notices for this cancellation are put out. Thanks. Peter Glushko

From the Office of Congressman Bill Owens

WASHINGTON – Last night, Congressman Bill Owens voted against H.R. 1954, legislation that would increase the limit on how much debt the federal government is allowed to hold by $2.4 trillion, bringing the public debt limit to $16.7 trillion.  Owens has consistently urged leaders in Congress to work together to offer a bipartisan plan that cuts spending responsibly in the long-term and reduces the possibility of default on American debt.
