Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• ICE Used Peekskill Police Lot for 12 Minutes (peekskillherald.com) — Peekskill residents are seeking answers after ICE briefly used the police department's lower parking lot during a weekend vehicle pursuit that ended on a rooftop arrest. Chief Adam Renwick told the Common Council that officers responded only to handle local safety issues and property damage, stressing the city's policy against assisting federal civil immigration enforcement while promising a full review and transparency.
• This New York River Town Has A Free Waterfront Trail And Enough Cheap Eats For A Full Day Out (takingthekids.com) — If you're looking for a low-cost day close to home, Peekskill's free Hudson River waterfront trails, parks, and boardwalks pair with an impressive mix of affordable eateries downtown. From RiverWalk and Peekskill Landing to diners, ramen, vegan spots, galleries, theater, and nearby hiking, the city's compact layout makes it easy to fill a full day without spending much.
• Saugerties Village Board backs Riverkeeper grant application for Lower Esopus study (dailyfreeman.com) — Peekskill gets a nod as Riverkeeper plans to model a new Lower Esopus Creek stormwater and phosphorus study on its earlier Hollow Brook project that protected Peekskill's drinking water. Saugerties officials hope the grant-funded research will pinpoint pollution sources, justify infrastructure upgrades, and guide practical fixes like sewer extensions, septic improvements, and erosion controls along the 32-mile creek.
