Peru –  There was an enthusiastic turnout for today’s 2020 Graduating Class Parade.  Because the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed most of traditonal graduation celebrations the parade was just one small way the community could its congratulations and best wishes to the Peru High School Class of 2020.  The Peru Fire Department escorted the graduates. The photos were taken on Washington St. where almost every resident turned out to cheer on the graduates.  When the parade ended several people commented, “We should do this every year.”

Editor Error:  Your editor misinterpreted the section of the street being renamed. Sorry! I originally reported that the new section of Washington St. was being named Gala Lane. That was incorrect. 

By John T. Ryan

At the Peru Town Board’s May 11th meeting, the Board named the 100 feet of highway between Mannix Rd. and Washington St. Gala Lane. Deputy Supervisor/Counselor Jim Douglass said that Clinton County Emergency (911) Management officials requested that the new section have its own name.  Gala is a well-known apple. The Board thought it would be the right name for the street, which overlooks Forrence Orchard’s Stafford Farm.

The Peru Gazette was unsuccessful is an attempt to contact developer William Sawyer to determine when and if he will resume work this summer. Last July an agreement was reached between Sawyer and the Town whereby another asphalt coat would be applied to the road and a turnaround would be installed at the end of the street. The trees and dirt piled on both sides of the street also have to be hauled away and Sawyer was required to post a bond to ensure the work is completed.  The Town will not assume ownership of the road until that work is done.
