Union County Kicks off the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution with a Spotlight on Lenape history

The Union County Board of County Commissioners, through the Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, is excited to announce its first event of the new year in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. The Lenape: Native Americans, New Jersey, and American History, presented by Seton Hall University history professor, Dr. Sean P. Harvey, will delve into the rich and complex history of the Lenape people who inhabited New Jersey during the European colonization. The free and informative event will take place on Tuesday, January 27th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Liberty Hall Museum in Union, in the wagon shed. Attendees may pre-register at www.ucnj.org/250.

“The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution is a moment we can all celebrate together as a community. It connects us not only to our ancestors who courageously fought these historic battles, but also to the roots of the cities we live in and the places we love to visit,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman, Lourdes M. Leon. “By exploring our past through history seminars like our Lenape presentation, we can understand how our ancestors lived and appreciate the values of freedom and unity that are still important today.”

Presenter Dr. Sean P. Harvey teaches courses on Colonial America, Revolutionary America, Democracy, Slavery, and Manifest Destiny, as well as Native American History before Removal. He also conducts surveys of American history and departmental seminars. He is the author of Native Tongues: Colonialism and Race from Encounter to the Reservation and serves on the Editorial Board of Commonplace: The Journal of Early American Life. Additionally, he is a member of the Advisory Council at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies and the Revolution NJ Scholarly and Public Programs Working Group, and co-edited Reviews for Journal…

Wind storm uproots trees, knocks out power to thousands across region

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WPVI) — A powerful wind storm left thousands without electricity Monday night and Tuesday, toppling trees and utility poles across the region and forcing crews to work through bitter cold to restore service.

Flames sparked from a utility pole for hours in one Radnor Township neighborhood as smoke drifted uphill. Residents there were left without power overnight.

Ted Tryon said the outage hit just as he was closing his garage.

“The power actually went out as I was lowering the garage door, so it went halfway,” Tryon said.

He returned home around 8 p.m. to find a massive tree uprooted on the 500 block of Brookside Avenue, bringing down wires with it.

“A lot of these trees are 80, 100 years old, so they’re on borrowed time. And the winds are getting more furious nowadays,” he added.

PECO reported about 48,000 customers lost power at some point during the storm. Crews have restored most service, but repairs are ongoing.

“We’ve seen really strong wind gusts going over 40 mph that has impacted our region,” said Candice Womer, a PECO spokesperson.

Damage was widespread. In Doylestown, a downed tree forced crews to close Woodview Drive between Lenape Lane and Pebble Valley Drive after it damaged wires and poles.

In Delaware, a large tree blocked a lane on Route 100 near Great Barn Lane in Montchanin, New Castle County.

PECO said extra crews were brought in to respond and urged customers to remain patient.

“We are working to quickly restore power to our customers, but also want to make sure that we’re safe,” Womer said.

As repairs continued in Radnor, Tryon said he wasn’t waiting around.

“We’re going to go to Costco and warm our bones,” he said.

RFK Jr.’s chronic dishonesty creates major risks for Republicans

Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025 | 2 a.m.

When voters returned Donald Trump to the White House, they did so believing he would strengthen the economy. Supposedly, workers who form the backbone of this country were to be front and center.

Ironic, then, that arguably this administration’s most visible Cabinet official is Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a man whose career has been defined not by building up working-class Americans but by using them as props on his way to enriching himself and the trial lawyer lobby he represents.

At the “Make America Healthy Again” summit, the administration doubled down on the alliance. Vice President JD Vance praised Kennedy’s “outside-the-box” thinking and even invoked his Appalachian roots to suggest that Kennedy was finally putting “his people first.”

A nice sentiment, except that Kennedy’s record directly contradicts it.

For decades, Kennedy has employed a disturbing playbook: arrive in a struggling community promising justice, extract maximum publicity and legal fees and then disappear once the cameras stop rolling.

In 2007, Kennedy traveled to Boone County, W.Va., declaring he would fight until mountaintop removal mining ended. He participated in a documentary, rallied national environmental groups, and then, after settling a class-action lawsuit for pennies on the dollar, never returned. The mountain he vowed to save was blown apart.

That naked exploitation prompted lifelong Boone County resident Maria Gunnoe to comment: “(Kennedy) took advantage of some of the poorest people in our country. He left a very bad taste in the mouths of many Appalachians.”

The same story played out in New Jersey. Kennedy’s law firm joined a lawsuit on behalf of the Ramapough Lenape Nation against Ford Motor Co. Tribal leaders hoped the Kennedy name would finally deliver justice and real compensation. Instead, they received photo ops and a modest…

Steve Coombs highlights busy week of local live music

Friday, Jan. 2

Nick Keena kicks things off with a solo performance at Lafayette House, 75 Route 15, at 6 p.m., setting the tone with an intimate, stripped-down sound.

Acoustic vibes continue at 7 p.m. when Steve Coombs takes the stage at McQ’s Pub at Lake Lenape, 165 Andover Sparta Rd., delivering a relaxed set. At 8 p.m., Eric from Flannel Jam brings acoustic ’90s favorites and crowd-pleasing sing-alongs to Sparta Pour House, 43 Center St., while Wry Observations fill Krogh’s Restaurant & Brew Pub, 23 White Deer Plaza, with their sardonic, literary folk rock.

Saturday, Jan. 3

John Murphy brings warm melodies and familiar favorites to Lafayette House at 6 p.m., followed by Rob Brock’s solo acoustic set at McQ’s Pub at 7 p.m.

Americana and folk influences take center stage later in the evening when The Fermenters Trio perform at Milk Street Distillery, 1 Milk St. Known for an eclectic blend of covers and originals rooted in Americana, bluegrass, indie folk, and alt-country, the trio features Chris Lelli on guitar, Seth Mandel on fiddle and mandolin, and Larry Ghiorsi on upright bass, creating a rich, rootsy soundtrack for a Saturday night out.

Thursday, Jan. 8

Felix and the Cats return to Blue Arrow Farm, 86 Glenwood Rd., for a Thursday night performance, bringing their crowd-friendly style to the cozy farm.

Meanwhile, Krogh’s Restaurant & Brew Pub hosts Rich of Rainbow Fresh at 6:30 p.m., featuring Rich Seiner on vocals and guitar in a special solo appearance. Based in Montclair, Rainbow Fresh is known for a sound that’s hard to pin down, blending classic rock sensibilities with unexpected grooves, imagine Led Zeppelin’s little brother playing Steely Dan songs with hints of Latin rhythm and disco.
