New Hope Celebrates has adopted the colorful LGBTQ+ Progress Flag in support of traditionally underrepresented groups.
The nonprofit organization’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Anti-Racism (IDEAA) committee is working to expand representation of transgender and minority communities, according to New Hope Celebrates president Matt Hanson.
“We have many reasons to continue the Pride movement for minority groups of people in our communities, such as transgender individuals and people of color who need and deserve equality,” Hanson said.
The IDEAA committee’s commitment to the cause, he says, will be on full display at the annual Flag Unfurling on May 8, when the Progress Flag will be showcased.

For Steve Meserve of the Lewis Fishery, the preferred method of setting the seine is by rowing, because he has found that a motor affects the shad hauls.
Steve Meserve wasn’t feeling optimistic. A storm front had moved in overnight and a cold, west-northwest wind was running down the river. The 54-degree water temperature, he said, “makes the shad want to sit down in an eddy somewhere and wait for warmer weather.”
But here in Lambertville, on a wide and deep reach of the Delaware River, this spring’s shad run has been good, even promising. As they have done most every night from late March through May since 1888, fishermen from Lewis Fishery slipped on hip waders and prepared a battered flat-bottom and seine for the evening’s haul.

Toll hikes in New York and New Jersey will go into effect Sunday on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and several bridges connecting New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
The Lakewood Scoop reported that the Delaware River Joint Toll Commission voted to approve toll increases to offset the decline in drivers due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Cash-paying travelers will see prices go from $1 to $3, while E-ZPass holders will have to pay $1.25.
The affected bridges are: Route 1 (Trenton-Morrisville), I-80 (Delaware Water Gap), Route 206 (Milford-Montague), Route 22 (Easton-Phillipsburg), Route 202 (New Hope-Lambertville), and Routes 611, 46, 94 (Portland-Columbia).
