ANTWERP – On today’s date about 4:45 pm, officers with the Antwerp Police Department and deputies from this office were called to the boat access at the Riverside Veterans Memorial Park on East River Street in the Village of Antwerp for a report of a body lying in the water.  First responders pulled a deceased adult male from the water.

Councilman Bryce Steiner raised several concerns during Monday night’s Antwerp Village Council meeting. Steiner wanted council to look at regulating food trucks and legalizing composting and small farm animals, such as chickens and rabbits, within the village.

Snow and frigid temps notwithstanding, spring is here. I know, because the calendar tells me. I know, because the sun now sets farther north than it did in winter. I know, because the ladybugs are coming out of hiding. But mostly I know, because Mama Robin is back.
