Repairs will start in October to restore the South Perkasie Covered Bridge.

Repairs are starting on one of Bucks County’s most iconic covered bridges after Hurricane Ida ripped it from its concrete supports three years ago, writes JD Mullane for Bucks County Courier Times.

The Perkasie Borough Council voted Sept. 3 to award a $195,030 engineering and rehab contract to Wood Research and Development for the 200-year-old South Perkasie Covered Bridge.

The repairs begin in early October and are expected to cost about $1 million, covered largely through federal and state grant money.

The repairs will finish in January 2025 and the bridge will reopen to the public in August 2025.

The South Perkasie span is unique because it sits in Lenape Park, on land.

The bridge was built in 1832 to span Pleasant Spring Creek but it was condemned in the late 1950s when it couldn’t handle increased traffic volume.

Locals rallied and saved it, and it was relocated a mile to Lenape Park.

“It is the third-oldest Town Lattice style covered bridge in the United States and a special example of an original covered bridge,” said Scott Bomboy, chair of the council’s historical committee and the Bucks County Covered Bridge Society.

Barnegat Drug Dealer With Stolen Gun Sentenced, Prosecutors Say

Quaison Ellis, 25, was sentenced on Friday, Sept. 13 to 10 years in state prison, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said in a news release. He pleaded guilty on Monday, July 15 to several charges related to two incidents.

Investigators established surveillance outside a home on Hawthorne Lane in Barnegat on Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. Ellis was seen leaving the home and then entered a vehicle’s front passenger seat.

Detectives followed the vehicle to a home in Paterson and Ellis was seen meeting with a man. He returned to the vehicle and put a bag in the trunk before returning to Barnegat.

Police stopped the vehicle and searched it, seizing about 1,550 wax folds of heroin. Ellis was brought to the Ocean County Jail and released on bail.

More than a year later, Barnegat police and the county’s SWAT team executed a search warrant on the Hawthorne Lane home on Friday, Dec. 9, 2022. Detectives found an undisclosed amount of cocaine and heroin.

Investigators also seized a Kel-Tec .32-caliber gun that was stolen from a vehicle in Stafford Township on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022. Ellis was brought back to the county jail and released again on bail.

Ellis pleaded guilty to possession of more than one-half ounce but less than five ounces of heroin with intent to distribute in the 2021 case. He also pleaded guilty to possession of more than one-half ounce but less than five ounces of cocaine with intent to distribute, being a certain person not to possess a firearm, and burglary in the 2022 incident.

Ellis must serve at least five years before he’s eligible for parole.

Log Cabin Days in the rearview mirror

PLYMOUTH — The Ashtabula County Historical Society celebrated Log Cabin Days Saturday and Sunday afternoon at Blakeslee Log Cabin.

The celebration included historical re-enactments, food, presentations and exhibits on county history.

Members of the United Eastern Lenape Nation had a tent at the festival, where they educated attendees on the history of the nation in the county.

Alvin “Iron Horse” Zatezalo, a member of the Lenape Nation, said there is a lack of awareness of them among county residents.

“On a scale of one to 10, it’s probably about zero,” he said. “We’re just not out there. We’re just not on top of things. You don’t hear about us in the news.”

Kenkouxwe, another member of the Lenape nation at the festival, said many people have the misconception there are no more Native Americans.

“A lot of people think we’re extinct. They really do,” she said. “Most of it is a lack of knowledge. I’ve spoken to many people, and they have no idea.”

Log Cabin Days was also filled with people reenacting history, such as Patrick Martin, who dressed in late Victorian-era clothing. Martin does re-enacting at many county events, sometimes riding on a high-wheel bicycle.

Martin said he loves reenacting because of its antiquated uniqueness.

“I’ve always been fasciated by history, and specifically the Victorian Era, and reenacting takes me and others back to a time. It’s kind of antiquated. It’s something people don’t see everyday,” he said. “I love what I do, so, it comes naturally … the hardest part is finding things for my outfit to make it as accurate as I can.”

Claar Butcher, a blacksmith for more than 30 years, demonstrated his work at Log Cabin Days. Butcher said he had an interesting reason for going into blacksmithing.

“Wanting…

Perkasie Borough moves forward on restoration of historic covered bridge

PERKASIE — Perkasie borough has selected an engineering firm to oversee the return of its historic 1832 covered bridge to public service in Lenape Park.

On September 3, Perkasie Borough Council awarded a contract to Wood Research and Development LLC, of Jefferson, Oregon and Jacksonville, Florida, for engineering and design consultation services for the rehabilitation of the South Perkasie Borough Covered Timber Bridge, announced a Perkasie borough press release.

The remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021 swept the covered bridge off its abutments during historic flooding in Lenape Park. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) along with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) awarded grant funds in June 2023 for repairs to damage caused by the flooding. Prior to Hurricane Ida, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission and the Perkasie Historical Society contributed funds to a project to rehabilitate the bridge.

Seven engineering companies made qualified proposals for the task of restoring Bucks County’s oldest covered bridge during a two-month proposal process. The other companies were from Pennsylvania, Indiana and Virginia. Perkasie Borough Council’s Historical Committee, with input from borough management, selected Wood Research and Development using judging criteria required by FEMA. Council unanimously approved the selection, said the release.

“We were fortunate to have some of the best firms in the country interested in the project, because of the South Perkasie Covered Bridge’s unique status,” said Scott Bomboy, chair of the Council’s Historical Committee. “It is the third-oldest Town Lattice style covered bridge in the United States and a special example of an original covered bridge. We intend to keep as much of the bridge intact as possible,…

Skip to content Your site title News []In a new video, controversial social commentator Twene Jonas has stirred controversy by saying he would prefer to campaign for Dr. Bawumia over Cheddar, despite his criticism of both, stating, “I would rather campaign for Bawumia than Cheddar, am I crazy?

[]He alleged that  Cheddar is a criminal, a felon in America.” Jonas further said, “I’m not foolish enough to vote for Cheddar. Anyone with a criminal record cannot be president in Ghana.”

Perkasie Borough awards $195K engineering and design contract for restoration of covered bridge

A historic covered bridge in Lenape Park in Perkasie Borough severely damaged in the flooding during Hurricane Ida in 2021 is on the path to return to public service.

Perkasie Borough has selected an engineering firm to oversee the return of its historic 1832 covered bridge to public service in Lenape Park.

On Sept. 3, 2024, Perkasie Borough Council awarded a contract to Wood Research and Development LLC, of Jefferson, Oregon and Jacksonville, Florida, for engineering and design consultation services for the rehabilitation of the South Perkasie Borough Covered Timber Bridge.

The contract award to Wood Research and Development was for $195,030, and it is fully funded by FEMA and other grants.

The remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021 swept the covered bridge off its abutments during historic flooding in Lenape Park. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) along with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) awarded grant funds in June 2023 for repairs to damage caused by the flooding. Prior to Hurricane Ida, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission and the Perkasie Historical Society contributed funds to a project to rehabilitate the bridge.

    Perkasie Borough   

Seven engineering companies made qualified proposals for the task of restoring Bucks County’s oldest covered bridge, during a two-month proposal process. The other companies were from Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Virginia. Perkasie Borough Council’s Historical Committee, with input from Borough management, selected Wood Research and Development using judging criteria required by FEMA. Borough Council unanimously approved the selection.

“We were fortunate to have some of the best firms in the country interested in the project, because of the South Perkasie Covered Bridge’s unique status,” said Scott Bomboy, chair of the Council’s Historical Committee. “It is the third-oldest Town Lattice style covered bridge in the United States and a special example of an original…

Cranford, NJ – Teen Cyclist Seriously Injured in Collision Near Lenape Park

Cranford, NJ (September 4, 2024) – A serious crash involving a 16-year-old cyclist occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 3, near Lenape Park in Cranford, Union County. The teenage boy sustained significant injuries after being struck by a car in a residential area close to the park, an incident that has prompted an ongoing investigation. 

First responders swiftly arrived at the scene, providing emergency medical care to the injured cyclist before transporting him to a nearby hospital for treatment. 

The driver involved in the collision stayed at the scene. Police have not released further details about the driver or the circumstances leading to the crash, as the investigation is still in its early stages. 

Investigators are working to determine the exact cause of the collision and are looking into factors such as vehicle speed, potential distractions, and the layout of the road where the accident occurred. The area near Lenape Park, a frequently traveled route for both motorists and cyclists, is known for its residential traffic and recreational visitors, adding complexity to the investigation.

Teen Bicycle Accidents in Union County

Cranford, NJ – Teen Cyclist Seriously Injured in Cranford Collision Near Lenape ParkTeenage cyclists are particularly vulnerable on roadways, especially in suburban neighborhoods like Cranford, where cars and bicycles often share the roads. Cranford’s proximity to Lenape Park makes it a popular spot for local cyclists, but with increased traffic and narrow streets, the risk of accidents can be high. Bicycle accidents often lead to severe or life-threatening injuries, given the lack of protection for riders. In this case, the 16-year-old’s hospitalization following the crash underscores the potential dangers cyclists face when involved in vehicle collisions.

While the cause of the accident remains under investigation, it underscores the significance of caution on the road….
