Delaware Water Gap, PA – We are disheartened and frustrated on behalf of all survivors following the outcome of a trial earlier last week where a former police officer was found not guilty of using his position of authority and power to rape a woman who, in his own words, was obviously inebriated and over the legal limit of alcohol consumption to drive. The verdict from the jury reflects the challenges sexual assault survivors face when they come forward in hopes of seeking justice, to share their experiences of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault in the criminal justice system.

Today, Barley Creek announced plans for a two-story rooftop bar to be built above the Onyx Room at Barley Creek's original brewpub and restaurant on Sullivan Trail in Tannersville. The High Tide Upper Deck Sky Bar -- HIGH BAR for short-- will feature two bars, an organic hop garden, an interactive Moonshine Fountain, and an eclectic menu of specialties such as Deep Fried Margaritas, Cheese Foam Submarines, and PB&J Shots, made with Barley Creek's own craft Peanut Butter Whiskey and Grape Jello.
Barley Creek co-founder Trip Ruvane, who can rarely resist a poorly-timed pun, said, "We wanted to set the bar high for the HIGH BAR. We're aiming for the ultimate HIGH experience for guests, with expansive views overlooking the Pint Size Park and Camelback Mountain, plus a ton of fun themed activities like Goat Yoga, Lawn Mower Races, and Zombie Apocalypse sim nights."

Pa. state Rep. Maureen Madden stood on the House floor this week to defend Pennsylvania's public schools and call for fair, equitable funding after the majority party Appropriations chair brazenly blamed school boards and local officials for environmental hazards and crumbling school buildings. Madden reminded her colleagues that, as elected state representatives with a budget surplus, they have a responsibility to ensuring children, teachers and school staff are safe in their learning and working environments.

Pa. state Rep. Maureen Madden supports the bipartisan effort to reform charter schools so charters are in line with traditional public schools. She said it's critical that schools across the commonwealth are equitably funded while addressing the burdensome and unfair costs of charter schools and cyber charter schools that get passed along to homeowners via higher property taxes.
As you probably know, we've been very busy doing brewhouse renovations, and today we've got some exciting news: The new tap lines are in, and that means we're back to a full 20 taps!

In an interview with Fox 56, Pa. state Rep. Maureen Madden urges Monroe County residents to get on board with its seniors, who are vaccinated against COVID-19 at 84%, as case counts rise and health care workers are stressed beyond belief. Vaccines and boosters, she said, help protect oneself, as well as one's family and friends, from the worst of the virus.
Pa. state Rep. Maureen Madden supports Pennsylvania's efforts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative because it's a step in the right direction and puts cleaner energy in the spotlight. With global temperatures rising and more frequent instances of extreme weather causing loss of life and significant damage, RGGI at least puts PA on a collaborative path that will put Pennsylvanians' spirit of innovation, ingenuity and resourcefulness at the forefront as we continue to diversify our energy portfolio and try to preserve the beauty of our commonwealth.
Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him… (Psalm 37:7a)
The circumstances of life are tying me into a knot. There are all these appointments, news of more cancer and upcoming treatments. How can I find rest in all this? The psalmist tells us two things…
First, “rest in the Lord.” The Hebrew word translated “rest” means to be silent or be in a resting state. This silence or rest is not to function on its own. We are to rest “in the Lord.” Rest is not found in our own efforts or in family or in friends, but only in the Lord. It is simply a drawing near to Him and leaving everything, including our circumstance and ourselves at His feet. This is just pure and simple worship. This rest is not just the amount of sleep we get, but the time we spend in His presence.
But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams… (Isaiah 33:21a)
Thirst for water. One of our basic needs. For me, I can’t drink water right now. It is too liquid for my throat and will go down into my lungs. O for a glass of cool, thirst quenching water.
Jesus spoke of a spiritual thirst:
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.” John 7:37
“If any is thirsty.” In order to drink spiritually, we must admit that we are thirsty. Also, we are not to drink from any old watering hole, but from Jesus Himself, “let him come to Me and drink.” The world offers all sort of thirst quenchers, but there is only one who really satisfies.
