First-Of-Its-Kind Behavioral Crisis Center Reaches Milestone In Bucks Co.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Policymakers and behavioral health professionals from across Bucks
County gathered in Doylestown to witness the raising of a roof truss for the Bright Path Center, a celebration of the behavioral health crisis stabilization center slated to open in spring 2026.

More than two dozen officials signed a wooden support truss, which contractors then lifted into place at the new Bright Path Center. It is under construction next to the existing Lenape Valley Foundation building at 500 N. West Street.

The first-of-its-kind center in Pennsylvania will serve families and individuals from Lower Bucks and Central Bucks.

“This is a special milestone,” said Lenape Valley Foundation CEO Dave Herold. “It’s more than steel, lumber and concrete. It celebrates a vision that is coming to life, a vision of inclusive, accessible, responsive behavioral health system for the residents of Bucks County.”

Officials who spoke in support of the center included Pennsylvania State Senator Steve Santarsiero; Bucks County Commissioners Robert J. Harvie Jr., Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia, and Gene DiGirolamo; Bucks County Director of Human Services Rachael Neff; Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission Executive Director Diane Rosati; and Rob Hutchinson, president of the Lenape Valley Foundation board of directors.

Undefeated Andrew Strode goes for gold at BKFC 78

Andrew Strode has been waiting his whole life for this moment.

At BKFC 78 on July 12, the undefeated Denver fighter challenges Gee Perez (5-1) for the Interim BKFC World Flyweight Championship at the legendary Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL.

Strode has quickly shot up the rankings in BKFC’s talent-rich, 125-pound weight class, amassing a 3-0 record since signing with the promotion in 2023. All of Strode’s wins have come by stoppage, including finishes over perennial contenders Tyler Randall and Chancy Wilson in his two most recent trips to the Squared Circle.

“This is the biggest test of my career,” the unbeaten Strode says ahead of his summertime clash in Florida.

“I’ve been boxing for 20 years, but this is bigger than all of my previous fights put together. This is the first time that I’ve ever fought for a belt on the professional stage.”

Despite the high stakes, Strode is approaching this fight the same way he has approached his previous matchups in the Squared Circle.

“It’s business as usual, and I’m keeping everything in perspective — it’s just another day at the office for me,” Strode says. 

“I’ve been fighting every day my whole life, preparing for this moment, and I’m just ready.”

Strode is proud to represent Denver in the world’s fastest growing combat sports promotion. He’s driven to follow BKFC World Cruiserweight Champion Chris Camozzi and become the second BKFC World Titlist from The Mile High City.

“I’m taking the win and I’m taking the belt home to Denver. I know my opponent is a great fighter and he’s going to come to fight, but this belt is coming home with me,” he says.

“This is everything that I’ve dreamed and worked for since I was a kid.”

Iraq progressing toward further stability, ‘regional integration’ ahead of 2025 elections: UN envoy

HAMILTON, Canada 

The UN envoy for Iraq on Tuesday said the country is progressing toward further “stability, prosperity, and regional integration,” with upcoming elections marking a key step forward.

“I would like to mention the most notable developments, at the forefront of which is Iraq’s drive towards more stability, prosperity, and regional integration,” Mohamed Al Hassan, the UN special representative and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), said at a UN Security Council session.

He emphasized that “Iraq is well on its way to another national parliamentary election, set for 11 November 2025,” while acknowledging existing logistical challenges.

“Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) is committed to doing its best towards a free, fair and transparent election,” he said, pledging UNAMI’s “most professional technical support towards.”

Al Hassan further stressed the importance of cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil, calling it “a partnership that necessitates ongoing dialogue and collaboration, grounded in the Constitution of Iraq, to effectively address and resolve any outstanding issues between the two sides.”

He raised concerns over internally displaced persons, noting that while Iraq is making progress on returns from northeast Syria, the situation “continues to demand urgent attention.”

“Commitment to human rights is at the heart of Iraq’s stability and development,” he added.

Hailing the resumption of Iraq-Kuwait border talks, the UN envoy called them “a welcome development” and stressed: “Continued efforts to rebuild trust and confidence between the two brotherly neighbors are essential for forging a more stable and cooperative future.”

With just over six months remaining on UNAMI’s mandate, he assured the council of a “structured transition according to schedule,” thanking Iraq’s transition team.

“I wish to reiterate my confidence in the resilience of the Iraqi people and the determination of their leaders,” he said.

UNAMI is a political mission established by the 2003 UN Security Council Resolution 1500 at the request…

Resident Clear Cuts 66 Trees, Inundating Neighbors Below

Resident Clear Cuts 66 Trees, Inundating Neighbors Below

Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:07 Last Updated: Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:21 Published: Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:07 Joanne Wallenstein Hits: 1076

beforeIn perhaps one of the most egregious incidents of tree destruction that we’ve seen, Mohican Trail residents removed 66 trees on a steep slope to accommodate a basketball court.

The clear cutting did more than destroy the view from the homes below. It caused significant erosion and mud slides into the yards, pools and streets.

The surprising fact is that the residents removed the trees with the approval of the Village.

That’s right. Scarsdale Village signed a permit to remove 39 Norway Maples, 22 dead or diseased deciduous trees and 5 native deciduous healthy trees to build a sports court.

Here’s the note on the property record below:

February 27, 2024

“REMOVAL OF 66 TREES CONSISITING OF 39 INVASIVE NORWAY MAPLES, 22 DEAD DISEASED NATIVE DECIDUOUS TREES, AND 5 NATIVE DECIDUOUS TREES WHICH ARE HEALTHY. (REMOVAL LIST ATTACHED) PROPERTY CONTAINS TEN TREES WHICH WERE FLAGGED BY VILLAGE ARBORIST TO BE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED. (PROTECTED LIST ATTACHED) ARBORIST REPORT PROVIDED. FIVE (5) REPLACEMENT TREES REQUIRED FROM GROUP A OR GROUP C OF VILLAGE LIST.”

About the Village Code that allows Norway Maples to be removed without a permit, the neighbor writes, “Norwegian Maples were planted widely in Westchester in the 1700’s to replace the trees that had succumbed to Duthc Elm disease. The trees were hearty, growing tall, and providing a beautiful canopy.”

The residents on Mohican Trail were supposed to plant replacements for some of the downed trees, but instead they have applied for a special use permit to build a 2,200 square foot sports court on the steep slope which a neighbor says will “exacerbate stormwater flooding, environmental…

The UK commends the publication of Iraq’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security: UK statement at the UN Security Council

Firstly, we welcome the smooth transition period towards the end of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq. It is encouraging to see that Iraq has remained stable despite an escalation of conflict in the region during the last 6 months. 

We commend the publication of Iraq’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security and the announcement of a date for federal elections.

UNAMI’s support to the Independent High Electoral Commission on the upcoming elections has been very valuable. And it was very good to hear today, from the SRSG, about the progress being made toward key milestones.

We look forward to UNAMI assisting the Government of Iraq during the remainder of its mandate in ensuring the elections are free and fair.

Second, President, we continue to follow closely efforts in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to form its regional government.  

This is vital for the stability of the KRI and should ideally precede the federal elections. We hope that the political leaders and parties of the KRI can overcome their differences and form a government soon.

In this important electoral year for Iraq, we urge the Government of Iraq to ensure the protection of freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly, and to strengthen legal protection guarantees for journalists, the media and civil society.

Finally, President, we thank the Secretary-General for his recent report on Kuwait, Iraq missing persons. As penholder on this issue and a member of the ICRC-chaired Tripartite Commission, we look forward to working with Iraq, Kuwait and all other interested parties to identify a route forward.

In this regard, we are committed to undertaking close engagement with Council Members, stakeholders and the Secretariat regarding an appropriate post-UNAMI follow-on mechanism in the coming weeks.

Lenape Native American council suspends Chief Dwaine Perry, who says he’s victim of ‘coup’

RAMAPO — The Ramapo Lenape Tribal Council says longtime Chief Dwaine Perry has been temporarily suspended as tribal leader pending a review into financial improprieties, potential fraud, and other accusations.

“This suspension did not come from politics; it came from the repeated calls of our Elders, many of whom have been raising concerns for years,” said a statement from the council.

Perry, 77, the chief for 33 years, denied the accusations, countering that he’s a victim of an attempted coup by members of the council’s executive committee.

Perry said the accusations came after he suggested a nationwide “pow-wow” in New York City’s Central Park to honor the Lenape tribe and provide $100,000 in proceeds to the tribal council and $10,000 each to two churches, one in Hillburn and the other in Mahwah, New Jersey. The two communities are the core of the tribe in the Ramapough Mountains.

Perry said he also suggested that he and the council members reveal their finances.

Chief Dwaine Perry calls accusations a ‘coup’ attempt by council members

“Some of the people want to get me out,” Perry told The Journal News/lohud on June 11, calling the accusations part of an attempted “coup.”

“They told me I was threatening people,” Perry said. “How, when I offered a plan to give them money? I am the baddest guy on Earth.”

Perry said the pow-wow has been cancelled. Instead, he’s looking for an attorney.

He said an election for principal chief is scheduled for Sept. 27, adding that he has not been contested at the ballot…
