The Daily Numbers -- April 25
The Daily Numbers: 34 suspects charged in a major drug bust in Chester dubbed ‘Operation Bankshot.’
.
2 million dollars worth of cocaine seized in the operation.
3 murders authorities say were being planned by the gang’s kingpins to protect their drug empire.
1 million dollars bail for the suspect charged with shooting a constable and apartment manager who were trying to evict him from his apartment in Yeadon for failure to pay the rent.
2 cents more, what we’re paying for gasoline today. Average price in the region is now $3.55. Diesel is through the roof at $4.52. Forget water torture that everyone is so concerned with. This is gas torture, a few pennies more squeezed out of us every day.
22 cent hike in the price of gas along the Garden State Parkway overnight. They only change their price once a week. Last night it was going for $3.17. This morning it’s $3.39.
76 cents a gallon, what gas will sell for at the Lukoil station at Delaware Avenue and Spring Garden for 76 minutes starting at noon. Yeah, it’s a gimmick tied into the Sixers’ playoff run.
8 separate cancer clusters identified by a new report in the state of Delaware. The report says 4 in 10 residents in the state live in these clusters.
76 age of woman in Manayunk charged with attacking a dog with a hatchet.
3 guilty pleas now set with the infamous NBA betting ring that was centered around ex-referee Tim Donaghy. James Battista, of Phoenixville, a high school pal of Donaghy and Thomas Martino of Marcus Hook, pleaded guilty this week to making bets based on info Donaghy was giving them.
3,000 new jobs and a 40 percent increase in revenues that the state Gaming Control Board is predicting for the casino biz in Pa.
35 million dollar fire that destroyed 15 businesses in the Continental Business Center in Montgomery County in 2001. A $1 million settlement has been reached in a suit sparked by the fire.
8 people held hostage inside a bank in McKeesport yesterday when a man with a device strapped to his chest held up the joint. He was taken into custody. There were no injuries. The ordeal lasted about 2 hours.
5 people killed when a tractor-trailer slammed into a van carrying a group of mentally disabled residents in Eighty-Four, Pa.
750 dollar cuts in grants to Pa. students announced by the state’s student-loan agency yesterday. PHEAA also is seeking buyouts from employees, all fallout from strained credit markets.
29 seconds away from a win in Game 1 for the Flyers in their series with the Canadiens. Instead the Habs scored to tie the game and then won it in OT.
48 seconds into the extra stanza before the Canadiens sent their fans home early, and the Flyers fuming about a couple of calls that did not go their way.
25 RBI for Pat Burrell, including 2 more yesterday, setting a new team mark for April for the Phillies. That’s a pretty impressive month, and we have still have 5 games left in the month.
2 as in Day 2 today for the legendary Penn Relays at Franklin Field, where the Chester girls 4x400-meter relay team took a first.
3 fouls for state champ Karen Shump, who came in second in the shot put at the Relays for the 2nd straight year.

Yeah, those two questionable calls certainly did not help the Flyers chances last night. Neither did the fact that they once again coughed up a two-goal lead.
*
I Don’t Get It: A former teacher of the year in Lumberton, N.J., has been charged with possession of child pornography. The man taught sixth-graders. I don’t get it.
*
Today’s Upper: SEPTA is going to try a novel concept – better customer service. Yesterday they named longtime employee Kim Heinle as their new assistant general manager for customer service. With the price of gas, she could have her hands full as more and more people turn to mass transit.

Quote Box: “I didn’t know he was reaching for a gun. But when I saw it, I knew I lost and that was it.”
