The great public lands of the Eastern United States are distinguished by some of the oldest mountains on earth, covered in forests from Canada to Florida. The Appalachian Trail connects forests from Maine to Georgia. Yet very few of these exceptional and sacred places are given the highest level of protection: National Park status. On this Public Land’s Day, we should strive to create the Delaware River National Park & Lenape Preserve.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey and nearby New York deserve to have a national park as much as any place out west. Yes, we have historic sites, battlefields, monuments, and those are loved and honored, but there are no designated national parks. The 60 million people living here should not have to drive to Montana or Maine to enjoy the opportunities that come with that designation.

The wildness of the East is exemplified by the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, created specifically to provide outdoor equity for all the urban people living within a day’s drive. The proposed national park and preserve is the solution, not the problem. It is environmental justice spelled out in the Senate and House reports, more than 60 years ago, creating the park. President Johnson summarized the intent of Congress in signing the bill into law: “The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation bill authorizes the creation of a 72,000-acre national park … A full 15 percent of this Nation’s entire population will live within 100 miles of this reservation … these people of ours yearn for beauty and hunger for the opportunity to find refreshment in nature.”

We as Americans can elevate a small 9,980 acres, to national park status and the remaining 56,000 acres to be the Lenape Preserve.

There is no cost involved since these are only federally owned lands in the proposal. No other NRA…

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sussex County Tech). They really took it to the Hopatcong Chiefs for the full four quarters, racking up a 43-0 victory on the road. Sussex County Tech pushed the score to 36-0 by the end of the third, a deficit Hopatcong had no chance of recovering from.

It was another big night for Brian Gruber, who rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season. Gavin Mericle was another major influence, as he rushed for 62 yards and ran in a TD.

He was just one part of a punishing run game: Sussex County Tech was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 215 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now rushed for at least 215 rushing yards in three consecutive matches.

Sussex County Tech’s defense made their presence known, laying out the QB six times. The heavy lifting was done by Matthew Wisniewski and Anthony Padalino, who racked up four sacks between them.

Sussex County Tech’s win bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Hopatcong, they are on a six-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.

Sussex County Tech will host Lenape Valley at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sussex County Tech’s defense has only allowed 16.5 points per game this season, so Lenape Valley’s offense will have their work…

Lenape and Shawnee are an even 5-5 against one another since November of 2014, but not for long. The Lenape Indians will head out on the road to square off against the Shawnee Renegades at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Lenape’s defense has only allowed 17.2 points per game this season, so Shawnee’s offense will have their work cut out for them.

Lenape took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 29-7 margin over Eastside. The victory was some much needed relief for the Indians as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Shawnee lost 42-21 to Rancocas Valley on Saturday. The Renegades have now taken an ‘L’ in back-to-back games.

Lenape’s first win this season bumped their record up to 1-3. As for Shawnee, their loss dropped their record down to 2-2.

Lenape came up short against Shawnee in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 27-23. Thankfully for Lenape, Joe Papa (who rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 132 yards and two touchdowns) won’t be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There’s only one way to find out.

Spanning 2,000 acres with more than 50 miles of trails, Wissahickon Valley Park in northwest Philadelphia offers a variety of recreational opportunities, from hiking and biking to bird watching and picnicking.

We are a professor of history who co-authored a book on the Wissahickon Valley and an assistant professor of biology. We teach students at Chestnut Hill College, which sits directly across the street from this lush urban park, about the environmental history of the Wissahickon forest and the importance of preserving its biodiversity. We’re also developing a documentary on the Wissahickon funded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph.

We want our students – and all Philadelphians – to understand the importance of protecting this urban ecosystem as a way to build climate resilience.

Like many of the country’s other great urban parks – from Central Park in New York or Rock Creek Park in Washington to the smaller Phalen Park in St. Paul, Minnesota – the Wissahickon lowers the city’s temperatures, reduces its carbon footprint, protects the water supply and mitigates floods. And, it remains an active arena for community building and engagement, which further increases Philadelphia’s resilience to climate change.

The Mountain Lakes Lakers are taking a road trip to square off against the Boonton Bombers on Friday. Both are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.

Mountain Lakes took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. Everything went their way against Lenape Valley as Mountain Lakes made off with a 27-6 win. The victory was some much needed relief for the Lakers as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Boonton). They put the hurt on Hopatcong with a sharp 42-18 win on Friday. Considering the Bombers have won three games by more than 20 points this season, Friday’s blowout was nothing new.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Boonton to victory, but perhaps none more so than Sylas White, who rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. White is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he’s now punched in two or more in the last four games he’s played dating back to last season. Drew Cabalar was another key player, rushing for 102 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries.

He was just one part of a punishing run game: Boonton was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 353 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now rushed for at least 195 rushing yards in seven consecutive matches dating back to last season.

Morrice was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 57 yards.

Galloway, N.J. – “Indigenous people are more than just what you read about in your false and colonial history books or a concept of the past. In 2024, we are contemporary.”

This and more gems of wisdom were dropped by Indigenous artist Denise “Bright Dove” Ashton-Dunkley during Sept. 17’s Artist Talk & Workshop in the Stockton University Art Gallery.

Ashton-Dunkley of the Nanticoke/Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation is one of more than 25 local and international artists featured in the new two-floor exhibition, “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures.” She and fellow tribe member Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto and Jeremy Dennis of the Shinnecock Indian Nation led participants on a tour of the exhibition and talked about the inspiration behind their featured works. 

According to Ashton-Dunkley, her piece, “Land Back,” is meant to challenge the viewer to acknowledge and consider the concepts of land reclamation and the significance of Indigenous traditional and ecological knowledge, especially as the world reckons with the current climate crisis.

“We hold this knowledge, and we’ve always been willing to share it. There’s no need to try to continue erasing us via MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women), genocide or forced sterilization,” Ashton-Dunkley said. “It all comes down to you voting, finding out what these politicians stand for and holding them accountable to their promises. Help us with your voice and steward these lands.”

Gould Jacinto’s gourd art is visually striking; lights reflect off of the colorful beads that adorn the painted gourds, creating rainbow shadows on the gallery’s walls and floors. Gould Jacinto explained that each piece comes from the same source of inspiration — nature and how it connects the past with the present.

“I use the seed of my ancestors, and I plant it in the soil, which is the dust of my ancestors….

In this self-guided, outdoor sound walk, Young’s work will take participants on a journey through Pennsbury Manor’s riverfront grounds with original music compositions, personal narrative and environmental recordings. At the program, Young will perform an adaptation of his work “Welcome to Lenapehoking” and discuss his experience with nkwiluntàmën, inviting audience questions. 

The schedule is as follows:

• 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Self-guided tour of sound installation by Young
• 1 p.m.: Welcome remarks
• 1:15 p.m.: “Welcome to Lenapehoking” presentation by Young
• 1:45 p.m.: Facilitated curator Q&A

Admission to the presentation is free, but advance registration at pennsburysociety-bloom.kindful.com/e/meet-nkwiluntmn-artist-nathan-young for this event is highly recommended, as space is limited. There is a $3 fee to tour the grounds, including the nkwiluntàmën installation. nkwiluntàmën at Pennsbury Manor will be closing on June 27, 2025.

Pennsbury Manor is located at 400 Pennsbury Memorial Road, Morrisville.
