A building in Bucks County displays a message for 9-8-8. File photo.
Bucks County residents calling or texting 9-8-8 for mental health or substance use assistance are now connected with local professionals from the Lenape Valley Foundation.
The Doylestown-based nonprofit began operating the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for the county in June.
The 9-8-8 service is available 24/7 through call, text, or chat, and works to provide immediate crisis intervention, reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, limit law enforcement interactions for mental health crises, and connect callers with follow-up care and community resources.
“In the same way that 911 connects callers to physical health emergency services, 988 simplifies access to behavioral health emergency services,” said Dave Herold, CEO of the Lenape Valley Foundation. “This move will ensure that our neighbors in crisis can quickly reach trained professionals who provide inclusive, culturally responsive care and can connect them to the appropriate local support.”
The Lenape Valley Foundation has hired eight crisis hotline specialists to staff the call center.
The call center staff will work from the organization’s crisis residential center, The Lodge, in Bristol Borough.
Lenape Valley Foundation officials said the staff have experience counseling individuals and families, including veterans, Spanish speakers, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.
Kris Thompson, COO at Lenape Valley Foundation, explained the process for when someone is connected to a specialists.
“When somebody calls they’re going to be met by a trained, crisis phone specialist, who has training and deescalating mental health, substance abuse, and specifically, of course, folks struggling with suicidal ideation,” Thompson said. “They are trained in how to deescalate those scenarios in the moment. They’re also trained in providing connection to resources for that individual depending on what needs to occur next once the situation…
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Tina Charles set season highs with 29 points and 11 rebounds to help the Connecticut Sun end a 10-game losing streak with a 93-83 victory over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday afternoon.
Connecticut (3-16) won its first game since June 6.
The game started at 11 a.m. as part of the annual Camp Day festivities, geared towards kids in summer camps.
Charles made a baseline jumper with 5:36 left in the fourth quarter to give Connecticut its first lead of the game at 79-77. Charles also made two layups in eight seconds — following a steal by Saniya Rivers — for a 91-81 lead.
The Sun pulled away by scoring 11 straight points late in the fourth.
What’s wrong with the Connecticut Sun amid historically-bad start to 2025 season
Charles finished 11 of 22 from the field for her sixth 20-point game of the season. Jacy Sheldon added 16 points and Bria Hartley had 15. Rivers scored all 11 of her points in the opening five minutes of the third.
Skylar Diggins led Seattle (13-7) with 23 points and seven assists. Gabby Williams added 21 points and Nneka Ogwumike had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Diggins, Williams, Ogwumike, and Ezi Magbegor each scored in double figures in the first half and combined for 43 points as Seattle led 49-41.
Seattle used a four-point possession at the end of the third to take a 74-66 lead. Diggins made a layup while being fouled and Connecticut forward Olivia Nelson-Ododa was called for a technical foul. Skylar Diggins made both free throws for an eight-point lead.

The Nanticoke Minor League all-star baseball team led Lower Sussex 9-4 into the fourth inning of the District III tournament but fell by a score of 16-10 in the game played in Seaford. Lower Sussex utilized 15 total walks in the game to overtake Nanticoke for the win.
Nanticoke’s James Brown, Jr. opened the game when he was hit on the leg by Lower Sussex pitcher Brian Seymour. Brown’s base stealing skills moved him up to third base and he later came home on a passed ball. Nanticoke scored a second run on a Ryan Downs’ RBI infield ground out. Nanticoke scored the third run on an error and then an

Standing on the stone bridge connecting New Hope to Lambertville, I watched the Delaware River flow beneath me and realized something profound. While thousands of tourists cross this bridge daily, rushing between Pennsylvania’s artsy shops and New Jersey’s antique stores, they’re missing the real treasure. This 2,627-resident borough guards secrets that predate the American Revolution by decades, hidden in plain sight along streets most visitors never explore.
Most travelers know New Hope as a quaint weekend getaway, but few understand they’re walking through one of America’s most authentically preserved colonial river towns. The median age here is 58 years, and these long-time residents have quietly protected stories that would make Williamsburg envious. What I discovered during my extended stay changed everything I thought I knew about Pennsylvania’s Delaware River Valley.
Unlike the crowded tourist corridors of Philadelphia’s Old City or the manufactured charm of Brandywine Valley attractions, New Hope’s authenticity runs deeper than its 1837 incorporation date suggests. The indigenous Lenni-Lenape called this confluence of the Delaware River and Aquetong Creek home for 10,000 years before European eyes ever saw these rolling hills.
The Revolutionary Secret Hidden in Plain Sight
Washington’s Forgotten March Route
Every American knows about Washington crossing the Delaware, but here’s what the history books skip: in 1776, Washington marched his troops directly through what’s now New Hope’s Main Street. The Logan Inn, still operating after three centuries, wasn’t just a colonial tavern – it was a strategic waystation where revolutionary plans were whispered over ale. Local historians at the New Hope Historical Society showed me documents proving this building witnessed conversations that shaped American independence, yet tour groups rush past without a second glance.
The Lenni-Lenape Legacy Tourists Never Learn
While visitors snap photos of Victorian architecture, they’re standing on ground that holds deeper stories. The…

A mother’s plea to find her missing son
LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— A 17-year-old has been missing from Wilkes-Barre since July 3.
And his mother is desperate to find out what happened to him.
“That’s my first born, he’s the reason I learned to be a mom,” said Jazzmen Owens, mother, Nanticoke.
Owens, a mother of four doing her best to provide for her children.
Search for missing 37-year-old man
Last week, her oldest son, Mark Ward, didn’t answer his phone after she dropped him off at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre.
Owens then went searching for Mark, following the phone’s location.
“I then got in the car and I went to the location that the phone was sending me. As I was crossing the bridge, it told me I arrived to the location, and then I drove back and put on walking distance and his phone was on the bridge cracked into pieces,” recalled Owens.
Owens contacted the police, and they are actively searching for him, but a close family friend says she still can’t believe what happened.
“Honestly, I cried because it’s just very sad to know that like you know, you see stuff like this on the news and in other places, but for it to happen to someone who’s close to you and who you’re close with, it’s like I couldn’t even imagine what his mother’s going through,” expressed Giavanna Twyman, family friend, Wilkes-Barre.
As more time passes without updates, Owens is holding on to her motherhood to keep her steady.
“I haven’t always been the best in life, I’ve been through so much, but one thing I stand on is being a mom. I feel like I was put here to be a mom,” said Owens.
Owens says she will be putting up posters around the community and urges people to help if they can.

The spokesperson for a would-be ownership group looking to bring the WNBA to Boston says the Mohegan Tribe wants to keep the Connecticut Sun in the state.
AJ Gerritson, spokesperson for Boston Women’s Basketball Partners, told the Boston Globe last week that the Mohegan Tribe indicated in conversations that it would be seeking owners who would keep the team in Connecticut.
“In terms of the path forward for us, it looks more and more like it’s going to be expansion,” Gerritson told the Globe.
The Boston group, which includes former NBA player Michael Carter-Williams and actor Donnie Wahlberg, did not submit a bid for a franchise during the latest round of WNBA expansion. Many took that as a signal that the most likely scenario was the Sun’s eventual relocation to the city. Gerritson told the Globe that the group didn’t submit a bid “purely because of timing.”
“Since then, we have worked tirelessly to meet and exceed all standards for expansion,” Gerritson said.
Asked for comment, Mohegan Tribe leadership told The Courant in a statement:
“Mohegan continues to evaluate all strategic opportunities in the best interest of the CT Sun, MTGA (Mohegan Tribe Gaming Authority) and WNBA. The CT Sun has had monumental changes over the past 18 months and Mohegan is very proud of the success, increased interest and what remains to be such incredible community impact off the court as well. The WNBA overall has also seen immense growth in viewership and interest. These are fantastic trends for what is an amazing sport, with extremely dedicated and talented women.”
The WNBA announced the addition of three expansion franchises, in Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia on June 30, bringing the league to 18 teams. The Cleveland team will begin play in 2028, Detroit in 2029,…
