The Daily Numbers -- Nov. 9
The Daily Numbers: 2 young girls bludgeoned to death in their South Jersey home last night. Their half-brother is in custody.
13 years, that’s how long attorney H. Beatty Chadwick has sat behind bars on civil contempt charges in a bitter dispute with his ex-wife over money. That’s a U.S. record that he breaks every day he sits in Delaware County Prison. He’s hoping, once again, to be granted a holiday furlough.
40 guns, including handguns, rifles and grenades, found inside a home on State Road in Upper Darby. Two men face charges
20 years in the slammer, that’s the minimum sentence Gov. Ed Rendell wants to see enacted for anyone who shoots at a police officer.
3 people wounded after gunfire erupted Thursday night in South Philadelphia. Three young men were outside a house on Sigel Street when someone opened fire on them.
3,000 turkeys being sought by Philabundance to provide a Thanksgiving holiday dinner for the needy. For information on how you can help, log on to Philabundance.org.
205 acres of land in Bucks County being bought by the feds for a cemetery for veterans. The price tag is $10.5 million.
1,780 acres of land in Montgomery County that will not be developed, at least not right now. It’s currently the site of Graterford Prison.
100 million dollars given by an anonymous donor to the Erie Community Foundation. The money will be distributed among 46 local charities.
1 cent, that’s the increase overnight in the price of gasoline. Average in the Philly region is now $3.02 a gallon. That’s 13 cents higher than a week ago.
8 game road trip that ended last night for Flyers as it almost always does in New Jersey, with a 4-1 loss to the Devils.
10,000 people expected to jam into Phil Marion Field tonight to see Ridley battle Interboro in the PIAA AAAA football playoffs.
5 of his last 18 save opportunities that were blown by Brad Lidge, acquired by the Phils from the Astros.
2 million dollars in base pay, what the Eagles are paying under-achieving defensive end Darren Howard this season.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
I hate to see the Phils lose another local kid, with Archbishop Carroll standout and 2002 Daily Times Player of the Year Matt Costanzo going to the Astros in the deal for closer Brad Lidge. But if it means solidifying the Phils’ leaky bullpen, and getting another big arm (Brett Myers) back in the starting lineup, I’ll live with it.
I Don’t Get It: Santa is arriving at Montgomery Mall this weekend. Two weeks before Thanksgiving. I don’t get it.
Today’s Upper: To the students and staff at Upper Darby High School, who this week dedicated a plaque to remember those who gave their life in service to the country in various wars.
Quote Box: "God forbid if there was a fire in the house. There were guns all over the house and a makeshift shooting range in the basement."
-- Upper Darby Police Superintendent Mike Chitwood, after officers found a small arsenal inside a home on State Road.
