Knights of Columbus want our kids to be warm this winter
Peru – On Wednesday, November 16th, the day of our first measurable snowfall, St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council 7273 presented twenty-four new children’s winter coats to Peru Primary School Nurse Kathy Bedard and Peru Intermediate School Nurse Linda Delong. Four school days later, the nurses had already handed out four jackets. Kathy Bedard said, “There seems to be a larger need this year with all the financial concerns that families are experiencing.” Grand Knight Cormac O’Callaghan commented, “The Knights always make children a priority. We can do this thanks to all the generous people who support our fundraising programs.”
Since 2013 the Peru Knights have donated 238 new children’s winter jackets to the Peru Elementary School. Each year the two-thousand Knights of Columbus Councils in the United States and Canada distribute 100,000 or more coats through the organization’s Coats For Kids program.

November 19, 2022 – The final score of today’s intersectional football game – is Ravena Coeymans Selkirk Indians 35 – Peru Nighthawks 19. The Nighthawks came on strong in the 4th quarter, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Indian’s lead. Both teams can hold their heads high. Going into the game, Peru had a 10-0 record, including wins over Beekmantown and Massena over the past two weeks. The Peru fans filled the stands and lined the fences today at the Ausable Valley field to cheer them on. The Ravena Coeymans Selkirk Indians go on to a semi-final Class B game next weekend in Middletown, NY.
The players, coaches, assistants, cheerleaders, and all Nighthawks fans should be proud. 2022 was a great year for Peru football!

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik opposes on the Biden’s Administration’s released proposed rule that would reduce the amount of milk available to WIC families; however, USDA issued a reason for its action.
“Let our New York families drink milk,” Stefanik said. “The Biden Administration’s proposal to restrict the amount of milk available to WIC participants is wrong, especially at a time when 90% of Americans are not consuming enough dairy to meet nutrition standards. In addition, this administration is shamefully further restricting milk choice for families and keeping the door open for more forced vegan juice consumption.”
Here is the reason for the change according to the USDA. “Milk contains important nutrients. However, the current food packages provide milk up to 128% of the recommended daily amount of dairy. Therefore, NASEM recommends a modest reduction to the amount of milk in the packages while still providing it between 71-96% of the recommended amount of dairy, and the proposed rule includes this change. This reflects the supplemental nature of the program and would ensure the packages provide a better balance of food and nutrients as recommended by nutrition science.”

“Congratulations to the North Country Chamber of Commerce for being awarded the 5-star re-accreditation by the United States Chamber,” said Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake). “This is an impressive accomplishment considering that less than half of 1% of Chambers nationally are rated 5-stars and is well deserved. The North Country Chamber of Commerce has been a tremendous asset to local small businesses and regional economic development and played a lead role in creating the North Country transportation manufacturing sector. I am proud to support the North Country Chamber of Commerce and secure funding so they can continue their important work.”
