The Battle of Plattsburgh celebration was wonderful!

By John T. Ryan

The Peru Gazette made a brief visit to the Battle of Plattsburgh celebration today. We witnessed the last few minutes of the very exciting battle reenactment which included about 170 reenactors; toured the Kent-Delord House and grounds and enjoyed the Celtic band Inisheer in front of City Hall.  The reenactment crowd was very good and many of those people walked across Cumberland Avenue to tour the Kent-Delord house. Walking along Cumberland Avenue I discovered some of the historic homes for the first time. Unfortunately, the crowd in front of City Hall was moderate at best, probably because of cloudy skies and threatening rain.  I did get a chance to take a few photos of people enjoying themselves.  If I had to guess I would say the majority of the people present were from out of town. I only recognized one other Peru resident during my ninety minute visit. (Click here for photos)

Congressman Owens claims his office can help you deal with the bureaucracy

By Bill Owens

I hear too often how difficult it is to get our government to work for us.  I have met with hundreds of Upstate New Yorkers who have worked for months or even years in some cases to collect benefits and payments that they are due.  I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about one of the success stories my office has facilitated as we continue to help Upstate New Yorkers navigate the bureaucracy of federal agencies.  If you or someone you know is experiencing a similar problem, please do not hesitate to contact one of my offices.  My primary job is to serve you and the rest of New Yorks 23rd Congressional District.
