Spotlight: Lenape Chamber Ensemble — Friday, Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church, Upper Black Eddy; Sunday, Delaware Valley University, Doylestown
For 50 years in Bucks County, the Lenape Chamber Ensemble has presented music with a name honoring the indigenous Lenape people (coincidentally, it’s Native American Heritage Month). Listeners have two opportunities to join in the anniversary celebration with a hefty Baroque program, performed by musicians bearing impressive credentials. Lionel Party — formerly of the New York Philharmonic and the ensemble’s harpsichordist — curated the program, and his collaborators are Cyrus Beroukhim and Katie Hyun, violins; William Hakim, viola; Alberto Parrini, cello; and Motomi Igarashi, bass.
And while most of the composers on the menu are well-known — J.S. Bach, Couperin, Telemann, and Vivaldi — in between are two outliers. For almost 25 years, Jacques Aubert (1689-1753) was the first violinist of the Paris Opera, and his 1738 Chaconne for two violins, scarcely seven minutes long, is an elegant bit of 18th-century arcana. And though Pierre Gautier de Marseille, a contemporary of Lully, was mainly known for his operas, none of them has survived. In 1696 Gautier and his brother died during a sea storm, and his Suite in G Minor for Violins, Cello, and Harpsichord was published posthumously in 1707.

On Saturday, November 9th, Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys brought his 2024 “Who I Am” tour to The Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
“The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well,” said French educator and historian Pierre de Coubertin. Nick Carter is such an individual.
Morning ‘Listening Party’
In the morning, Carter hosted an album “Listening Party,” where he was able to play a few songs acoustic (the Backstreet Boys hits “Larger Than Life” and “As Long As You Love Me,” as well as his solo single “Help Me”), for an intimate group of fans.
Carter shared that he is re-recording “Help Me” at the moment, and he also shared eight new songs that are previously unreleased… and with the help of his fans, they were asked to vote on their favorite ones, to help him select the best ones that will make it on the new album.

He also allowed the fans to ask him questions about each of the new tunes.
Without giving too much away (on his new songs), they were all eclectic and well-crafted that it will be a difficult decision for him, especially since each tune has its own identity.
Soundcheck experience
During the soundcheck and meet and greet experience, which took place later on in the day, Carter sang “80s Movie,” a cover of ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man,” and the infectious “Made For Us,” which had a retro ’80s vibe to it.
Carter also sang “Help Me” while the song’s music video played on the…

Last Wednesday, in a tight game that could have gone either way, Camden Catholic made off with a 28-27 victory over Lenape.
Meanwhile, Pope John XXIII was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They took a 40-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of St. Michael the Archangel.
Despite the defeat, Pope John XXIII had strong showings from Tylik Hill, who rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry, and Prince Joshua, who picked up 108 receiving yards. Hill showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 53 yards.
Even if they lost, Pope John XXIII’s defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Alex Schreiber was especially locked on to St. Michael the Archangel’s QB and sacked him twice. Tyler Houser was another major factor on D, making 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Camden Catholic’s win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.5 points per game. As for Pope John XXIII, their loss dropped their record down to 2-7.

SPRAGUE — After helping the Berlin boys golf team win the 2024 DII golf state championship, Berlin sophomore Brennan Meyers qualified to play in the 2024 New England Boys Golf Championship which was held on Monday, October 28, at the Mohegan Sun Golf Course, in Baltic, Connecticut.
Not only did Meyers qualify for the event, but he showed why he is one of the best high school golfers in the state of Connecticut and New England for that matter.
Meyers had an overall score of 70 and tied for second place out of 72 golfers. Meyers was also just one of two underclassmen (freshman Luke Kowalchik, Fairfield Prep) to place in the top-15 at the event.
Meyers said that it was a great experience to compete against the best golfers in New England, which included some familiar faces that he’s competed against before. He said that while he is satisfied with placing second, he would have been more excited to finish in first place.
“It was exciting,” said Meyers. “I knew a few of the kids there, I also had confidence in myself. After coming in second place it was really exciting. I would have been more excited if I won, but it’s alright. Second is really for New England’s, so I’ll take it.”
Meyers found out right after the team won the DII state title that he qualified for the event, courtesy of his 71 overall score, which was the second best for all DII golfers.
Heading into the New England Championship, Meyers said he continued to practice each day, getting encouragement from his coaches and teammates. He said that he was able to get some pointers on what holes to watch out for on the course from some of his teammates that have played at the course before.
Placing second place at the New England…

The new park is designed to honor the Nanticoke Indian Tribe who were the original inhabitants of the area, Nanticoke means “The people of the tidewater. U.S. Senator Tom Carper wants this new space to be something that’ll be remembered for years to come. “Harry Truman used to say the only thing new in the world is something we forgot or never learn, and the history of this place is huge, and it’s something we never want to forget.”
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA
For this significant milestone, local leaders and members of the Nanticoke Indian Association cut the ribbon symbolizing the beginning of a new era in Laurel. With the help of local and state funding, Carper vouched for the funding of this project. “A beautiful playground, a wonderful playground, it’s a celebration of the history of the Nanticoke for our country and this part of Delaware and America.” Said Carper.
THE DESIGN
The highlights of the park include a pavilion for family gatherings and community events. Nature-based play areas for children like ziplines and swings. Nanticoke Indian Stories, done through interactive panels featuring legends that share the origins of Indigenous people from Southern Delaware. Lastly, a riverwalk to observe local flora and fish along Broad Creek.
Brian Shannon, the Executive Director for the Laurel Redevelopment Corporation who led this project, hopes this will bring more tourism to Laurel.
