PERKASIE — Being able to make the rules doesn’t put the municipality above those rules, borough officials said at Perkasie Borough Council’s Sept. 6 meeting.

“We make ourselves follow the same rules as everyone else,” Borough Manager Andrea Coaxum said.

That includes the rules for a planned digital electronic sign at the amphitheater the borough opened this year in Lenape Park.

“We make ourselves apply for permits all the time,” Coaxum said, “and this time our zoning officer denied the permit.”

The Perkasie Borough Zoning Hearing Board is now being asked to approve variances to allow the sign, she said. The hearing will be 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26.

Four variances are being requested, Doug Rossino, Perkasie’s engineer, said.

“One is for the size of the sign,” he said.

Others are to allow the electronic sign and to allow scrolling, he said.

“The big thing was the timing,” Rossino said. “The borough ordinance requires one minute between each change on the sign.”

The borough is asking to allow the message to change every 15 seconds, “which seems more realistic if you want to have somebody read more than one item as they go by,” Rossino said.

The sign would be used for announcements about amphitheater events and other borough information, council President Jim Ryder said.

Two street trees will have to be relocated as part of the plan, Rossino said.

In other matters at the meeting:

• Council approved a revision to the definition of disturbing the peace.

The change, which follows state court rulings that make part of the borough’s previous ordinance unenforceable, amends the borough’s ordinance to remove obscene language and loitering from the definition, Jeffrey Garton, the borough’s solicitor, said.

“It’s no longer disturbing the peace if you call somebody bad words, plus, just because you’re on…

To the editor:

There is a proposal to create a new National Park only 70 miles from New York City. Sounds fantastic right? So, why so much opposition? Well, the proposal to turn the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area into the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve turns out to be a mind-boggling debacle of negatives.

Proponents claim there would be increased environmental protections, but the 70,000 acres of land in question is already a federally protected National Recreation Area owned and managed by the National Park Service. In fact there is not a single additional protection proponents point to that is needed or listed to be implemented.

Meanwhile proponents point out that as many as 1 million new visitors would be expected in the first year of the change. Environmental groups like the Delaware Riverkeeper Network point out that these new visitors and the infrastructure upgrades required to support them would have a significant negative environmental impact on water quality, sensitive riparian habitat, and the surrounding ecosystems.

Next, proponents claim that the change would lead to increased funding for the currently under-funded Recreation Area, but when pressed do admit that whether the land is designated as a Recreation Area, or a National Park has zero effect on the funding the area receives from Congress and the Department of Interior.

Proponents also have stated that creating a new National Park is a diversity, equity, and inclusion issue despite the reality that National Park status would risk limiting recreational activities and limit access to the remaining recreational activities through the requirement of entrances fees, permits, and the like—the Recreation Area is currently free to enter, and most activities are completely free to enjoy with the limited exception of specific use fees at life-guarded beaches and some boat launches. Low-income…

This year we will have the opportunity again on Saturday, Sept. 17, in person, to collaborate with many different environmental and tourism supporters. Held at Centenary College in the beautiful Lackland Center, the conference allows many different ideas from varied viewpoints to flow freely between the participants. It’s a rare opportunity to incubate collaborative partnerships and cross pollinate proposals.

The leynote speaker this year will be New Jersey’s Secretary of State, the Honorable Tahesha Way. One of the great ideas being discussed at the conference is the proposed elevation of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA) to a National Park and preserve.

The proposal is sponsored by the Alliance for the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve which is a group of citizens and 23 organizations concerned about our environment, outdoor equity, and the local economy.

The proposal would take the existing federally owned lands in the National Recreation Area (NRA) and divide them into a National Park section of 9,700 acres and a preserve of 56,000 + acres. You can see all the details at the website www.delvalpark.org.

The National Park is envisioned as an emerald, green ribbon along the Delaware River and includes two waterfalls at Dingmans Falls plus the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, Raymondskill Falls. On the New Jersey side, the National Park will start above Worthington State Forest and trace Old Mine Road and the river to just below the Dingmans Bridge. A map is available at: https://tinyurl.com/bdfk9yty.

Virtually all present uses will continue uninterrupted, except that hunting will not be allowed within the National Park section. However, the legislation will allow the traditional hunting to be enshrined more completely in the preserve and minimize National Park Service discretion on hunting rights. There will be no impact on state lands, private lands,…

On Friday, Aug. 12, representatives from the Delaware River Greenway Partnership and Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic joined the Rising Nation River Journey. With Sarah Bursky of the National Park Service Wild and Scenic Rivers Program they paddled from Milford, N.J., to Frenchtown, N.J. to speak and sign the treaty.

Richard Dodds, Lower Delaware steering committee chair, and Marion Kyde, steering committee vice chair, joined later in the day and spoke about the Wild and Scenic River program. Dr. Kyde, one of the authors of the “Delaware River Scenic Byway,” presented a signed copy to Lenape Chief of Education and Language Shelley DePaul and Tribal Council Member Adam Waterbear DePaul.

Bursky said of the event, “The Rising Nation River Journey was a powerful experience, an opportunity to support the Lenape on their ancestral lands and waters at their own event, to recognize the pain of past histories but move together in a positive way. It was a personal chance to experience their music and traditions, and a great step forward in improving relationships as we work together on this Wild and Scenic River.”

The journey began in Hancock, N.Y., on July 30 and ended on Aug. 20 in Cape May, N.J. The journey includes a partial paddling of the Delaware River and the signing of the Treaty of Renewed Friendship between the Lenape and individuals and organizations along the…
