Today's riddle: Where do math teachers go on vacation? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Through No Fault of Its Own, Cannabis Cultivator Can't Get Growing (peekskillherald.com subscription) — A long-running zoning and certificate-of-occupancy dispute at 710 Washington Street is delaying the planned Grand Street Cannabis grow facility, despite a special permit from the Peekskill Common Council. City officials, neighbors on Roosevelt Avenue, and the building owner are tangled in court-ordered fixes, ventilation changes, and parking concerns. Nearby residents say odors and commercial growth are still affecting their quality of life in Peekskill.
2. Live football scoreboard, scores all weekend for week of Sept. 1 (lohud.com) — Peekskill football fans can catch Ossining visiting Peekskill for a 6 p.m. kickoff this weekend, as part of a packed Lower Hudson Valley high school schedule. The live scoreboard will be updated throughout the weekend, with recaps and stats added as coaches send in details, so you can follow how local teams and standout players perform in real time.
3. Today in History: September 4, the 1949 Peekskill Riots (newser.com) — Peekskill's turbulent past is recalled with the 1949 riots, when an anti‑Communist mob attacked concertgoers after a Paul Robeson performance, injuring more than 140 people. The piece places that moment alongside other major world and U.S. events occurring on September 4, offering context for how Peekskill briefly became a flashpoint in postwar political tensions.
4. NY dog groomer arrested after senior dog injured during appointment (lohud.com) — A Peekskill resident working as a dog groomer in Mount Kisco has been charged with animal cruelty after video allegedly showed him violently handling a small senior dog during a nail trim. The dog's owners later found bruising and troubling symptoms, prompting a vet visit and investigation. The groomer is due back in Mount Kisco Town Court on September 24.
