PIERREPONT â The Pierrepont Veterans Memorial will most likely be moving in the near future.
During its June 12 meeting, the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators passed a resolution authorizing the chairman to sign an agreement with the town of Pierrepont Veterans Memorial Fund to erect a new monument on county property.
The monument is currently located in front of the Pierrepont Museum, and features a series of walls that hold bricks showcasing the names of local veterans from St. Lawrence County who served in the military from as far back as the American Revolution and the Civil War, according to the resolution.
MASSENA â An objection was filed with the St. Lawrence County Board of Elections on Thursday, alleging that the Board of Elections did not receive proper notice of the Massena Republican caucus.
If thatâs the case, it could mean the caucus was not valid and there would be no time to hold another one.
âAt this point there wouldnât be enough time. They would have to do either a write-in campaign or something of that nature because the last day is July 22 to hold a caucus. But youâd have to put a notice in at least 10 days prior. There isnât enough time to hold another caucus,â St. Lawrence County Deputy Commissioner Gordon I. Ward said.
