Edgely bridge in Lower Bucks County may need to be replaced, says Bristol Township. First, its safety needs to be assessed.

The Edgely bridge, sometimes called the Randall Avenue bridge, is in poor shape and may need to be replaced. Bristol Township’s investigating.

JD Mullane, Bucks County Courier Times

It surprised me several years ago to learn Morrisville nearly became Washington, D.C. I got another jolt lately: Bristolians once expected their village to become Philadelphia which for a time was the U.S. capital. That bit of trivia got me to envisioning the impact on Bucks County had those dreams come true.

Bristol as Philadelphia and D.C.

In 1672, Quaker founder George Fox and companions forged their way on horseback on wilderness paths from Long Island through New Jersey to reach Maryland. At Burlington Island, Lenape Indians ferried them across the Delaware River in canoes. Their horses swam across. The travelers landed at what George deemed an ideal site for a settlement.

Within a decade, English Quakers took the hint. They got to work building Buckingham village (the future Bristol) in the new colony of Pennsylvania. Just upstream, William Penn purchased 8,431 acres from the Lenape for his Pennsbury Manor home plus territory…

Shaub fuels IR girls’ softball run to the DIAA state finale

Jaya Shaub

Coastal Point • Mike Stern

Losing is tough.

But remaining victorious of spirit and attitude is achievable regardless of what the scoreboard reads.

Jaya Schaub realizes this.

The outstanding Indian River High School girls’ softball third-baseman remains thankful and enthusiastic about the wild ride that she and her teammates took to the DIAA state championship game.

The Indians fell just short of winning the title, after their 15-game winning streak was snapped by Caravel Academy at the University of Delaware on Saturday, June 3.

“I’m beyond proud of all the work we’ve put in this season, and I think we showed ourselves and other schools how much we can really do,” said Shaub after IR finished the season at an impressive 19-4. “I wouldn’t want to win with another team, and I wouldn’t have wanted to lose with another team. My Indian River High teammates really are my sisters, and I’m glad I got the opportunity to make history with them. I’m not disappointed that we lost, and I’m even more sad that the season is over. But that only means that it was something good enough to miss, and for that I’m grateful.”

Calm, peace and purpose in the batter’s box

She displays a striking command presence.

The strapping 5-foot-7 right-handed hitter steps into the batter’s box, exuding a sense of calm, of peace and of purpose.

Anyone watching can immediately surmise that she is locked in.

Standing just 43 feet from the girls’ softball pitcher’s mound, Shaub awaits the hurler’s offering with a sense of purpose and commitment.

Moments later, she makes solid contact with the ball, driving the sphere to the outer reaches of the outfield, then swiftly races…

Jake Huff Stable scores again with Holy Being

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Holy Being (Archangel) worked his way to the lead past a :28.1 opening quarter, got soft middle splits of :58 and 1:27.1, and then was able to finish strongly to win the $15,000 featured harness racing trot at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania Monday (May 29) afternoon in 1:55.1.

Anthony Napolitano, top driver of the day at Pocono with three victories, guided the gelding to a 1¼ length victory over Quarantina for trainer Jake Huff and Beauty Bridle Racing Stable Inc.

HOLY BEING REPLAY

The story at Pocono on Monday was quite the tale of two opposite halves of the twelve-race card. Holy Being was the only frontender to win in the last six races, while five of the first six winners raced on the lead. In a perhaps-related bit of news, the favorites won each of the first six races of the day, and then were shut out the rest of the way, with the afternoon punctuated by Optrix (Tom Jackson) winning the last race at $104.60, second-highest price of the 2023 season.

Tuesday’s card, not surprisingly given the above mutuel breakdown, will have three different carryovers (Pick-4, Pick-5, and High-5); the racing features will be two $15,500 events for the top claiming handicap trotters on the ground, plus four $15,000 divisions of the steppingstone “nw 4 races” class. The Tuesday card starts at 1 p.m.; program pages for all Pocono races are or will be available by clicking here.

Prince of Persia goes Mohican and launches a new game in 2024: the keys to The Lost Crown

With a striking change in style, the Prince of Persia saga returns with The Lost Crown: we tell you all its keys.

Ubisoft has put the batteries with Prince of Persia after a lot of years without news in the saga. It is true that the Sands of Time remake, which is still in development, has had some problems and has been rebooted. But this has not stopped Ubisoft from continuing to work on the franchise and today, at Summer Game Fest, has presented Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, a new game in the saga.

Breaking away from the three-dimensional gameplay that has accompanied Prince of Persia for decades, The Lost Crown leads to sideline action a game that is familiar and is inspired by titles like Metroid, Ori and the Blind Forest and Dead Cells, to give a few examples.

8 Coolest Small Towns in the Poconos for a Summer Vacation

Luxurious resorts, watersports, and delicious food are topics that come to mind when someone mentions the Poconos. The Pocono Mountains, commonly referred to as the Poconos is a geological, geographical, and unique cultural region in Northeastern Pennsylvania. These majestic mountains overlook the beautiful Delaware River and Delaware Water Gap to the east. With the enchanting Lake Wallenpaupack to the north of the mountains, the Wyoming Valley and the Coal Region are to the west, and the gorgeous Lehigh Valley to the south.

The fascinating name; Pocono is derived from the local indigenous Munsee word Pokawachne, which means “Creek Between Two Hills.” The Munsee peoples originally occupied the beautiful headwaters of the Delaware River in present-day New Jersey, New York, as well as the Pennsylvania region. This extended all the way south to the substantial Lehigh River, as well as holding the west bank of the Hudson River from the famous Catskill Mountains close to the New Jersey line. Today, the Poconos is a popular region for tourism, especially among New Yorkers searching for a weekend getaway or a summer vacation in the beauty of nature.

An oasis for exploration and active outdoor excursions, Ohio’s Mohican State Park should be on the list of places to visit for any visitor to the Buckeye State. Located just 60 miles southwest of Akron—and 80 miles from Cleveland—the park offers a tranquil escape from those bustling urban settings. But if you’re in the mood for an adventure, you’ll find plenty to love here too.

The state park covers a little more than 1,100 acres but packs more into that space than most other outdoor destinations twice its size. Visitors will be awestruck by the rolling landscapes, which include the beautiful and dramatic Clear Fork Gorge. This amazing location stretches a thousand feet across and 300 feet high, creating towering vantage points for surveying the area. Visitors will also discover dense hemlock forests situated along the Mohican River, creating a gorgeous setting all year long, but is especially colorful in the fall.

If you love nature and outdoor adventure—and are planning a trip to Ohio—Mohican State Park deserves a spot on your list of places to visit. Here is everything you need to know before you go.

Two Six Nations based athletes help Buffalo Bandits secure NLL Final

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Buffalo Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre, where they secured the final 13-4 over the Colorado Mammoth. With Tehoka Nanticoke and Adam Bomberry of Six Nations included, the franchise earned its first final in 15 years. Photo courtesy of the NLL Facebook page.

By TRT Staff with notes from NLL.com

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m., in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre.

One year ago, nearly the same NLL Final scenario played out at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, with the outcome of 2022’s 15-14 Bandits Game 1 triumph looking mighty similar to this year’s 2023 finals opening act.

Colorado took care of business on their home floor for Game 2 in 2022 as well, winning 11-8 before heading back to Banditland for the Game 3 series clincher. This year, the Mammoth took nearly the same win, 16-10 in their home arena.

But on Saturday night, after 15 long years, Buffalo secured their spot as 2023 NLL Final champions after a strong win of 13-4 over Colorado.

“Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) would like to congratulate Tehoka Nanticoke, Adam Bomberry and the Buffalo Bandits on capturing the National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship,” wrote the SNGR Facebook page.

Nanticoke broke game scoring with the first goal from Josh Bryne, then proceeded to earn multiple assists throughout the remaining game time.

“Congratulations to Tehoka, Adam and the Buffalo Bandits,” Chief Mark B. Hill said. “Adam and Tehoka are tremendous individuals, and I couldn’t be happier for them. What they do on and off the floor is amazing…
