Who wouldn’t want a National Park?

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…

Football Recap: Sussex County Tech Piles Up the Points Against Hopatcong

Suggested Video

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…

Football Game Preview: Lenape Indians vs. Shawnee Renegades

Suggested Video

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.
