Lenape Valley swim teams set sights on division titles, state qualification

With a sense of team unity and a sincere focus on both the individual as well as relay events, the Lenape Valley High School swimming program (girls and boys teams) are getting well prepared for the winter season.

The Patriots are scheduled to face Kittatinny at the Kittatinny High School Aquatics Center on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Key returning varsity experienced student athletes returning for the Patriots this year include Cailin Brennan (senior, backstroke), Savannah Becker (junior, freestyle), Jessica Bongiorno (junior, butterfly), Ashley Herman (senior, freestyle), Peyton Noe (senior, freestyle), Tim Jecko (sophomore, butterfly), Grayson Petrie (senior, freestyle) and Mackenzie Walsh (sophomore, backstroke).

Among the promising newcomers working hard to make a positive impression on the varsity level for Lenape Valley are Avery Brennan (freshman, breaststroke) and Erin Winkelman (freshman, breaststroke).

The more experienced competitive swimmers on the roster will be looked upon as leaders for the program this winter season.

“I am looking at Greyson Petrie and Cailin Brennan as our team leaders,’’ Lenape Valley coach Jessica Jacobellis said. “They are both returning varsity swimmers who excel in many different events. They are not only gifted athletes but they are leaders to our underclassmen as well and will guide them through the upcoming swim season.’’

The Patriots finished with very good 3-1 and 5-0 dual meet records for the girls and boys teams, respectively, last season.

They have lofty goals this winter indoor season.

“I would like to see both the boys and girls team qualify for the (NJSIAA) Team States,’’ Jacobellis said. “Last season they both just missed the qualifying cut but this season is looking a lot more positive.’’

Lenape Valley competes in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) North Division.

“I am hoping for both the boys and girls teams to repeat as NJAC North Division champs,’’…

Steps and stories untold: A goat-guided tour through Lenape lands

Angel Hogan, volunteer with the Philly Goat Project, introduces Goat Ray to attendees at the Philly Goat Walk and Lenape Nation Talk event on Saturday, Nov. 29th. | BRIAN NELSON / THE TEMPLE NEWS

As the sun reached its high peak on Saturday — golden, watchful, almost ceremonial — the air settled into a crisp autumn sweetness. About 100 people gathered at the Awbury Agricultural Village grounds, wrapped in scarves and kept warm by boots that crunched leaves with each step.   

Fingerless, fleece, woolen and mismatched gloves held fast to the promise of warmth, adventure and goat-induced mischief.  

The third annual Philly GOAT Walk, hosted by the Philly Goat Project and Lenape Nation Talk, invited attendees to walk on grounds layered with the footsteps of Lenape lineage. The procession began at Awbury Agricultural Village grounds and made its way back towards herding grounds after a session of cultural insight at the Arboretum.

“An event like this teaches us to appreciate the importance and merit of diverse stories and histories,” said Leslie Jackson, Philly Goat Project’s director of operations.  

The afternoon opened with words from the Philly Goat Project team before a lively meet-and-bleat session. 

Then Barbara BlueJay Michalski, Chief and Keeper of Culture of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania shared a brief message setting the tone for the journey ahead.

“If one person leaves with a little more knowledge about what happened to our people, my job is done,” Michalski said. 

During the journey, Michalski offered Lenape folk stories and facts, stitching the past and present together with each tale. Conversations bloomed between neighbors and strangers alike, a connection through shared curiosity and rediscovering heritage.

The journey crossed Washington Lane, where stories deepened. One story shared was of the Pine Tree and Sparrow, a legend that explains why pine trees stay green and full year-round.  

The group paused by a pond where geese honked their hellos and looped around the Arboretum. Shadows lengthened as the procession returned to the herding grounds, where Michalski and Jackson offered closing reflections.

William Penn and the Lenape: The Peace Treaty That Shaped Pennsylvania’s Identity

I must let you know that I am trying hard to embrace all the pumpkin spice products I have shied away from in the past. The jury is still out. And I am not happy with the bakery pumpkin roll I bought recently that had buttercream instead of my cream cheese filling. What is the world coming to? I can’t be the only person out there who associates a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling.

Moving along, I have had a curiosity about William Penn’s early interactions with Native Americans, more specifically the Lenape (Delaware) tribe, since these occurred within a few decades of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Fiber Traditions Talk This Saturday at 10 am And Updates about Other Exhibit Activities

ARKVILLE — The final presentation associated with Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit, “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions“ will take place on Saturday, November 22, at 10 am in the auditorium at the Catskill Watershed Corporation, 669 County Route 38, Arkville. 

Justin Wexler, noted scholar of Lenape history and traditions, will present an illustrated talk about the cultures of Native peoples in the North East, including their fiber traditions. After the talk, the audience will be invited to visit the exhibit, just up the road in the Erpf Gallery of the Catskill Center, 43355 State Highway 28, Arkville (the house with the bronze cow on the yard!).

Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Exhibit on View 10 More Days

Counting the special viewing on Saturday after Justin Wexler’s talk, the exhibit of intriguing Lenape early fiber techniques  as practiced by Lenape artists, and stunning contemporary art works by Mohawk artists, in beaded-embroidery and fingerwoven sashes, will remain open Wednesdays through Sundays 10 am – 4 pm at the Erpf Gallery. As an  exception, the exhibit will be closed for Thanksgiving Day and the day after, re-opening for Saturday and Sunday of that weekend. Final closing of the exhibit is on Sunday, December 7, with a reception.

Come to the Closing Exhibit Reception Sunday, Dec. 7, 1 pm–4 pm 

Catskills Folk Connection always celebrates the successful conclusion of its exhibits, this time with a festive gathering of all who want one last chance to see the exhibit of Lenape and Mohawk art works and to share their interest with others. We hope that the Mohawk artists, Wilma Cook Zumpano  and Marilyn Isaacs, who live closer by than the Lenape artists, will be able to attend the reception. Ginny Scheer, Executive Director of Catskills Folk Connection will also announce an upcoming event for…

Partnership Invests $100K To Expand Crisis Care In Bucks Co.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Foundations Community Partnership has announced a $100,000 donation to the Lenape Valley Foundation for Bright Path Center, a new crisis stabilization center currently under construction in Doylestown.

“This investment represents our deep commitment to advancing behavioral health and human services for children and families in Bucks County,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, Chair of the Foundations Community Partnership Board of Directors. “By supporting Lenape Valley Foundation and Bright Path Center, we are helping bring a profoundly needed resource to our community that will serve thousands of individuals and families in crisis for years to come.”

Slated to open in 2026, Bright Path Center will be located adjacent to Lenape Valley Foundation’s existing outpatient site in Doylestown. The center is designed to transform behavioral health crisis care in Bucks County. With separate, trauma-informed spaces for children and adults, it will deliver 24/7 crisis services to meet urgent behavioral health, substance use, intellectual and developmental disability challenges.

“On behalf of Lenape Valley Foundation, I express our heartfelt gratitude to Foundations Community Partnership for this generous gift,” said Dave Herold, CEO of Lenape Valley Foundation. “This enables us to bring Bright Path Center to life and fulfill its mission to deliver compassionate, integrated crisis care in Bucks County.”

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum North American gallery

In partnership with eight Indigenous consulting curators, the Penn Museum will unveil its new Native North America Gallery with a public opening celebration on Saturday, November 22. A continuation of the museum’s work with Native specialists for more than a century, it will explore the political, religious, linguistic, and artistic self-determination of Native peoples across the United States who are still thriving—despite a historic agenda to erase Indigenous identity, culture, and language. These Native-led stories will offer nuance and complexity in telling the nation’s story as it approaches its 250th year. Uplifting cultural continuity, resilience, and creativity, the Native North America Gallery will reframe Native American histories.

Through its recognition of Indigenous deep histories, including upheaval amid centuries of betrayals, the exhibition will simultaneously draw attention to today’s Indigenous ideas, technologies, and art—alongside the ongoing challenges Native peoples still face.

Through more than 250 archaeological, historic, and contemporary items from the Penn Museum’s North American collections, the 2,000 sq. ft. multisensory gallery’s design will foster an immersive visitor experience—from its first-person videos, interactive stations, color palette and motifs to including Native languages throughout the interpretive text. Following best practices in the care and conservation of the Native works, periodic rotations of the items on display will offer Museum guests a fresh look.

The oldest items on view inside the Native North America Gallery will be the most ancient in the Penn Museum’s collections—projectile points dating back to 9500 BCE. Recovered during a 1936 expedition near Clovis, New Mexico, they were carefully shaped into spear points for hunting. The newest will be “Parceled Space #2,” a woven piece specifically commissioned from Cherokee artist Brenda Mallory, whose mixed media sculptural works imply tenuous…
