Perkasie opening ‘The Spine’ at Lenape Park Skate Park July 26 with skate night event, outdoor movie

Perkasie Borough is thrilled to announce the opening of “The Spine,” the highly anticipated update to the Lenape Park Skate Park, with an exciting inaugural Last Friday Skate Night program and a late-night outdoor movie.

Scheduled for 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Friday July 26, 2024, this special event will mark the beginning of a new era for skate enthusiasts in the community, providing an exciting new single coping double mini half pipe and a full reconstruction of the park’s asphalt pad.

Last Friday Skate Nights are planned for July through September and are meant to invite and include skaters of all ages and skill levels.

The inaugural Last Friday Skate Night on July 26 promises an evening filled with music, food, games, giveaways and a celebration of skate culture, and is followed by a FREE outdoor showing of “School of Rock” (PG-13) at the amphitheater in Lenape Park. The movie will begin at around 8:30pm and has a run time of 1 hour and 48 mins.

Lauren Moll, Perkasie’s director of Parks & Recreation said, “The skate park is one of the Borough’s most-utilized facilities and it’s wonderful to have been a part of this project. It feels very appropriate to host this event in July, which is National Parks & Recreation Month. We’re hoping everyone comes out to watch the skaters, enjoy the park and stay for the movie. It’s going to be an awesome evening in the park.”

Attendees at the event can purchase hot dogs and snacks and Hickory Stick ice creams, and pick up free giveaways provided by event sponsors and the Perkasie Police Department.

It’s all the big things this week in CT from blink-182 to Phish to Jerry Seinfeld

The 1960s British teen idol Peter Noone is now a septuagenarian. So is Vicki Lawrence, who has been playing one (“Mama”) since the 1970s.

Also in Connecticut this week, a Sammy Hagar/Loverboy tour recalls the 1980s. Southern California skate punks blink-182 evoke the 1990s and 2000s. Then there’s Phish, whose jams have gone on for decades.

The music goes round and round right up to up-and-comers like Tracheotomy and newly minted arena-filling stars like Billy Strings.

On the comedy front, besides Lawrence there’s Jerry Seinfeld and what might be the last live stand-up go-round for Bill Maher.

You might forget what year it is, but you’ll have a great week.

Captured Cambridge fox heading to rehabilitation facility

A fox caught in a trap by a Preston resident is waiting to be sent to a rehab facility in Nanticoke

Foxes have been a recurring sight over the past few weeks in the Preston area.

Just last night, Connie Bickford posted in the Preston Ontario Facebook group that she had trapped one.

“Unfortunately there are quite a few of the notorious mangy foxes roaming around the Preston area,” Bickford wrote on Facebook.

“We are trying to catch more but have only had luck with this one. We will move the trap and keep trying for next one. Keeping fingers crossed!”

The “mangy” comment refers to people thinking the foxes have mange, an infection that involves mites burrowing into the skin.

The Cambridge and District Humane Society confirmed the capture and is preparing to send the fox to Hobbitstee Wildlife Refuge in Nanticoke for rehabilitation.

“It was tracked last night, so in those cases, the service confirms with me if we can accept it,” Chantal Theijn, authorized wildlife custodian at Hobbitstee, said.

“It should arrive here today by way of a volunteer driver and then we’ll go through its health issues.”

Theijn said mange is typically a health condition that is secondary to another underlying problem, which her team will evaluate once the fox is in their care.

Rehabilitation can take around eight weeks and then the animal will be released back into the area in which it was found.

“For adults, they get released in a suitable habitat that’s within one kilometre,” Theijn said.

“For babies, it’s within 15 kilometres. Cambridge animal services will provide the location to us.”

The Cambridge humane society is urging residents not to approach sick or injured wildlife.

To report an animal in distress, call Animal Services Cambridge at 519-623-7722 extension 231.

Hike the Mills Reservation in Cedar Grove

Along the Lenape Trail.

This easy two-mile hike loops around the 157-acre Mills Reservation in Cedar Grove, Essex County, New Jersey. It runs above an old quarry and affords panoramic views of the New York City skyline. Situated atop the Watchung mountain range, the park is maintained in its natural state, with a network of woods roads and footpaths.

The hike loops around the reservation on footpaths, following the yellow-blazed Lenape Trail for most of the way and returning on the blue-blazed Eastview Trail. It should take about 90 minutes and dogs are allowed on leash. A map is available online at bit.ly/millsresmap (please note that the Mills Loop Trail and the Mills Gate Trail are not blazed on the ground with the colors indicated on the map).

To get there, take Route 4 West to the Garden State Parkway South and follow the Parkway south to Exit 154 (Clifton). Bear left after the toll booths, following the sign to Route 46, and continue west on Route 46. In 1.2 miles, take the exit for Great Notch Road. Bear right at the fork and turn right onto Great Notch Road. At the traffic circle at the bottom of the hill, turn right onto Valley Road. Proceed south on Valley Road for 1.1 miles. Just beyond the entrance to Montclair State University, turn right (at a traffic light) onto Normal Avenue. Cross the railroad tracks, continue uphill for another 0.3 mile, and turn left into the parking area for Mills Reservation at the top of the hill, just past the intersection with Granite Drive. GPS address: 31 Normal Ave/, Cedar Grove, New Jersey. The park is about 15 miles from Teaneck and it should take about 25 minutes to get there.

Boston Rocks first at Pocono Tuesday – U.S. Trotting News

Boston Rocks first at Pocono Tuesday

July 16, 2024, by PHHA for Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania

Wilkes-Barre, PA – A fierce summer storm swept through northeast Pennsylvania just before the $17,000 featured pace at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania Tuesday(July 16) afternoon, causing a delay before the race. But when the feature field did come to the track, the Boston Red Rocks sophomore colt Boston Rocks showed no ill effects from being kept waiting, coming his last half in :54.4 to lower his mark to 1:51.4 despite the “sloppy” going.

Boston Rocks came home powerfully to win Tuesday’s Pocono feature. Curtis Salonick photo.

Last year’s New York Sire Stakes champion went to the front for driver Jason Bartlett nearing the :27.3 quarter, and against a hard wind backed the half down to :57. The tempo picked up as the winner’s main rival Arbitrage Hanover, off a 51-day layoff, made an uncovered move to go at the leader to the 1:24.3 three-quarters, but around the far turn the first-over horse made a break, and Boston Rocks put in a :27.1 last quarter to win by 7-1/2 lengths. Mike Deters trains the winner of $435,467 for owners Rick Berks and Peter Blood.

The rain soon let up, but it had fallen so hard so fast that after only one more race the track was declared not safe for racing, wiping out the last three races of the day.

Back before the moisture came down, a pair of 3-year-old pacers, the Captaintreacherous gelding Vengeance Blue Chip and the Stay Hungry filly Staying With Emily, won $15,000 co-features in the identical time of 1:52.

Both sophomores won by a nose – Vengeance Blue Chip just catching Dublin…

ISHM: July 11 – July 18, 2024

Key Takeaways:

  • POLITICS: UN Appoints New Special Representative For Iraq; Coordination Framework Gives Sunni Parties Days To Agree On A New Speaker – On July 15, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that Omani diplomat Mohammed al-Hassan has been selected to be his new Special Representative for Iraq. Al-Hassan will also serve as the new chief of the Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), whose work is set to end on December 31, 2025. On July 14, sources from the Coordination Framework said the ruling bloc has given Sunni political parties until July 20 to resolve their disputes and agree on their candidate for speaker of parliament, a post that’s been vacant since last November. After that deadline, parliament would reconvene for a vote and “the matter will be left to [individual] representatives” to select the new speaker, without the need for political consensus, explained one Framework lawmaker. Another Framework representative argued that the Framework has the power, and may exercise it after the deadline, to use its numbers in parliament to approve any candidate regardless of Sunni preferences. In other developments, on July 13, Iraq’s Foreign Minister revealed that Baghdad will soon host a meeting between Syrian and Turkish officials to discuss possible solutions to the Syrian crisis. On July 13, protests erupted in the southern province of Diwaniyah amid worsening water and electricity shortages. On July 18, KDP said that it has finally submitted its list of candidates who will compete in the Kurdistan legislative elections on October 20. more…

Expansion to Nanticoke community center in Millsboro approved

GEORGETOWN — A proposal to allow the Nanticoke Indian Cultural Community Center in Millsboro to build out its structure and offer more services was approved by Sussex County Council on Tuesday.

“This would double the size of the cultural community center, allow it to have some new restrooms, a food bank, a flex space for children’s areas and classrooms, additional meeting rooms for arts and crafts,” said David Hutt, an attorney representing the Nanticoke Indian Association before the council.

He added that the approval will also permit existing space in the 27073 John J. Williams Highway facility to be redeveloped.

Cultural programs like drum or dance classes can be held more easily in the larger space, Mr. Hutt added, while certain offerings that require more privacy, like internal ceremonies, can also have their own areas in the bigger location.

The expansion will address these issues and more, Chief Avery Johnson said during an earlier interview.

“We have a lot of elders, so we have to make sure we are prepared. We offer financial literacy and financial independence training, computer training, along with other important issues like the domestic violence roundtables and other discussions we have,” he said, explaining the building’s necessity for growth.

Mr. Hutt continued, “The association plans to extensively renovate the existing structure, as well, and to provide outside added parking areas, walkways, native artwork and some new lighting and landscaping.”

To complete these plans, the applicant sought a change to the conditional use of the property, which has limited building size.

In addition to the size restrictions, the parcel on which the center sits has several legal constraints upon it, including a provision that would revert ownership of the land back to the Indian River School District should it ever not be used as a tribal center,…

One Horsham man is charged with open lewdness after a woman in Lenape Park, in Sellersville, reported him “masturbating as he stared at her across the river.”

Matthew Gagat, 47, of the first block of Sterling Drive in Horsham, denies allegations that he was touching himself, police said.

Perkasie Borough Police Department was called to Lenape Park around 9:02 p.m. on June 27, reports said. A woman said that she was near a Scout cabin in the park system when she saw a man across the creek, on the Sellersville Armory side, who “appeared to be touching himself,” according to police.

She described to the police a white man around 40-years-old, standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a “stocky build” and dark hair. She said he wore a black cut-off T-shirt and blue jeans, per police reports.

Police said they made contact with Gagat in the described area of the park, and that he matched the woman’s description. Gagat denied masturbating, police said.

We enjoyed talking to one of the caretakers, Johnny Dolla, an older man with…
