Good morning, Philadelphia. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 10th of July.
CRIME NEWS
- ➤ A Levittown man, Justin D. Mohn, 33, is on trial for fatally shooting and beheading his father on January 30 for trying to perform a citizen’s arrest and spark a revolution—closing arguments are set for today. KYW Newsradio
- ➤ Parents of Thaduba Magdalena Turay, killed last year on I-95, are suing Nickels Tavern and Live! Casino & Hotel—alleging the bars overserved an intoxicated driver whose wrong-way crash ended her life. The suit is part of ongoing dram shop cases where overserving establishments may face multimillion-dollar liabilities under state law. The Philadelphia Inquirer
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ During the sanitation workers' strike, neighborhoods with private trash haulers like Rittenhouse stayed clean while areas such as Kensington and South Philadelphia saw overflowing dumpsters and trash on sidewalks—local business improvement districts and community groups stepped in until the city resumes regular collection next week. The Philadelphia Inquirer
- ➤ Trash collection resumed after DC 33 union leaders and city officials agreed on a new three-year contract that provides 3% raises each year and adds a fifth pay step—though some workers called the deal tough. City pools, libraries and rec centers will also reopen and return to normal hours soon. The Philadelphia Inquirer
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ The CDC says this summer is one of the worst tick seasons with more ER visits for tick bites, so Philadelphia residents should check themselves and their pets carefully & use bug sprays to lower the risk of Lyme disease. Doctors advise removing ticks with tweezers and seeking care if a bull’s-eye rash or flu-like symptoms appear. KYW Newsradio
- ➤ Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will begin renovating its Center City emergency room later this summer with a $28M gift from the Sidney Kimmel Foundation; the $19M project will add a 30-bed unit, more treatment spaces, a bigger entrance, and a new waiting room.
