BERWICK — Town and city council meetings are often filled by routine matters — keeping the water flowing, hearing financial reports and deciding which potholes should be filled.
But Tuesday’s Berwick Town Council meeting had more than a touch of human drama, and with a happy ending.
During its “The Beacon Shines On” time, the council recognized two men and a little girl who saved a drowning man.
The men are Donald Valentine and Don Minor. The girl is Isabelle Toups, 6. The man who was saved is Quinn Toups, Isabelle’s father.
