Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 2 Dogs Rescued In Peekskill Basement Fire Linked To E-Bike Battery (patch.com) — Peekskill firefighters quickly knocked down a basement fire on Paulding Street, rescuing two dogs and preventing injuries. The blaze, traced to a malfunctioning charging e-bike battery, was the first call for the city's new Engine 132 and required special handling of lithium-ion debris at a hazardous materials facility.
2. Rounding Error? Double Commercial Rollover Reopens Debate at Annsville Circle (peekskillherald.com) — A recent pair of truck rollovers at Annsville Circle, just minutes from downtown Peekskill, is renewing concern about safety at this key intersection and the Jan Peeck Bridge. Fire crews, including Peekskill responders, contained a hazardous hydraulic spill, but officials warn a similar crash in daytime traffic could snarl Routes 6, 9, and 202 and threaten the Hudson estuary.
3. Are Peekskill's Eyes in the Sky Watching Us or Watching Over Us? (peekskillherald.com) — Peekskill's police now operate 17 automated license plate readers around key intersections, sharing data with Westchester, Putnam and state agencies for at least a year. Residents are split between feeling safer and feeling surveilled, while officials stress crime-fighting benefits, grant funding, and policies they say align with immigration and privacy protections.
4. NashSkill Music Festival Celebrates 10 Years at the Factoria (halstonmedia.com) — NashSkill Music Festival is returning to The Factoria at Lents Cove Park in Peekskill on Sept. 12 with a free, 21+ night of country, Americana and roots music. From tribute acts to rising artists, plus a salute to first responders, the 10th‑anniversary celebration runs from 4 p.m. to midnight, rain or shine, with a backup location at Paramount Hudson Valley Theater.
