Schwarber leads Phillies against the White Sox after 4-hit game
Philadelphia Phillies (34-29, second in the NL East)
THREATS COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARY ELLEN. THE U.S. MILITARY SAID IT SHOT DOWN IRANIAN ATTACKS LAUNCHED TOWARDS GULF ARAB ALLIES ON FRIDAY. OFFICIALS SAY SOME OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC’S RADAR SITES WERE HIT IN RESPONSE TO DEFEND AGAINST FURTHER ATTACKS. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JACKIE DEFUSCO IS LIVE IN OUR D.C. BUREAU WITH MORE ON THOSE ATTACKS. AND THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ABOUT THE WAR AHEAD OF MIDTERM ELECTIONS. GOOD MORNING. JACKIE. YEAH. HEY THERE. GOOD MORNING. THE U.S. MILITARY ALSO SAYS THAT IRAN FIRED DRONES TOWARDS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ YESTERDAY. THAT THAT POSED AN IMMEDIATE THREAT, AS THEY PUT IT, TO SHIPS IN THE REGION, REALLY FURTHER SHAKING THE CEASE FIRE AND EFFORTS TO REOPEN THAT CRUCIAL WATERWAY. AND THAT WAS THE BACKDROP YESTERDAY, AS PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ALSO ADDRESSING FARMERS IN WISCONSIN TRYING TO SHORE UP SUPPORT AHEAD OF MIDTERM ELECTIONS. THE EVENT TOOK PLACE IN THE STATE’S THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE RACES IN THE COUNTRY THIS YEAR. FARMERS, OF COURSE, ARE DEALING WITH RISING COSTS AS WELL DUE TO THE STALLED TRAFFIC IN THE STREET, WHICH USUALLY HANDLES ABOUT A FIFTH OF THE WORLD’S OIL SHIPMENTS AND NEARLY A THIRD OF THE GLOBAL FERTILIZER TRADE. FERTILIZER PRICES HAVE RISEN BY ROUGHLY 40% SINCE THE WAR BEGAN. BUT THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT WILL SOON CHANGE. WE’RE GOING TO COME OUT OF IRAN VERY QUICKLY, AND IT’S GOING TO BE VERY STRONG ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WHETHER IT’S A PIECE OF PAPER OR THE VERY TOUGH WAY. OKAY. A VERY TOUGH WAY IS MAYBE THE EASIER WAY, BUT WE’RE GOING TO COME OUT AND YOUR FERTILIZER PRICES ARE GOING TO GO WAY DOWN, JUST LIKE THEY WERE FOUR MONTHS AGO. IN 1ST APRIL FARM BUREAU SURVEY, ROUGHLY 70% OF FARMERS REPORTED BEING UNABLE TO AFFORD ALL OF THE FERTILIZER THAT THEY NEEDED. HIGHER PRODUCTION COSTS THAT EXPERTS SAY COULD TRICKLE DOWN TO FOOD PRICES. BAILEY, PRESIDENT SAID THAT THE U.S. WOULD COME OUT OF IRAN QUICKLY, BUT WE WANTED TO COME BACK TO YOU LATER TODAY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JACKIE. WE APPRECIATE THAT. RIGHT NOW, THE AVERAGE GAS PRICE IN PENNSYLVANIA IS $4.37 A GALLON. THAT’S UP $1.23 SINCE THE START OF THE WAR IN IRAQ. THESE PRICES ARE HITTING HARD FOR PEOPLE WHO DELIVER MEALS TO PEOPLE IN NEED. AND AS NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIELLE THOMAS REPORTS, ONE LANCASTER COUNTY COUPLE SAYS THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP DELIVERING THIS PARTICULAR STOP ASKS US TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR, AND THEN THEY WILL COME AND GET IT. EVERY KNOCK MEANS SOMEONE GETS A MEAL. EVERY STOP MEANS SOMEONE KNOWS THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. AND FOR MEALS ON WHEELS, VOLUNTEERS LESLIE AND GUS GIANOPOULOS. WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER A QUARTER TANK. IT ALSO MEANS PAYING MORE AT THE PUMP. IT’S A BIT OF A SHOCK THAT THEY’RE SO HIGH FOR BECAUSE OF WHAT’S GOING ON. I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY’RE SO HIGH. WHEN THEY SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER, THEY KNEW THEY’D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN GAS. WHAT THEY DIDN’T EXPECT WAS HOW MUCH PRICES WOULD CHANGE. A YEAR AGO, WE WERE SPENDING ANYWHERE FROM $3,035 TO FILL UP. NOW IT’S. 35 TO 45 RIGHT NOW WE’RE COMING UP TO OUR FIRST STOP. THERE WAS NEVER A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THEY KEEP SERVING. WE ARE NOW ON CHESTNUT STREET BECAUSE BEHIND EVERY ADDRESS ON THEIR ROUTE IS SOMEONE COUNTING ON THEM. IT’S NOT JUST THE FOOD, IT’S THE SEEING THE PEOPLE KEEPING TRACK OF IF THEY’RE THERE, IF THEY’RE NOT THERE, MEALS ON WHEELS WILL CHECK AND MAKE SURE THEY’RE OKAY. THE COUPLE MADE ABOUT A DOZEN DELIVERIES THAT DAY THROUGHOUT LANCASTER CITY. MY FAVORITE PART IS TALKING TO THE PEOPLE. YES. ABSOLUTELY. WHETHER IT’S A SHORT TALK OR A LONGER TALK, I AGREE. IT’S AND THAT’S ALL JUST PART OF THE REACTION. LIKE THE ONE GENTLEMAN. HEY, BUDDY, HOW ARE YOU DOING? A SIMPLE HEY BUDDY STARTS A RELATIONSHIP AND FOR SOME CLIENTS, THESE VISITS ARE ESSENTIAL. I THINK THE THE BLIND GENTLEMAN IS SO APPRECIATIVE BECAUSE SHE WOULD DESCRIBE TO HIM WHAT WAS IN THEIR CHICKEN POT PIE, SWEET POTATOES. THANK YOU. THE COUPLE SAYS THEY HOPE MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND JUST HOW MUCH MEALS ON WHEELS PROVIDES BEYOND A MEAL. I THINK MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF HOW BROAD A SCOPE THAT MEALS ON WHEELS IS. WITH GAS PRICES STILL OVER $4, THEY KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MAKE ENDS MEET. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF DO I EAT TODAY? OR DO I GET GAS SO I CAN GO TO WORK? STILL, THEY’LL KEEP MAKING THE DRIVE NEXT WEEK, JUST LIKE THIS WEEK, THEY’LL BE BACK. SO THIS IS A SPECIAL MEAL DELIVERING MORE THAN A MEAL, BUT A REMINDER THAT SOMEONE CARES. CARROTS AND RICE IN LANCASTER CITY. GABRIELLE THOMAS, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. A STATE SENATOR IS SPONSORING A BILL THAT WOULD BEGIN THE PROCESS OF GETTING RID OF EMISSIONS TESTING FOR VEHICLES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THAT BILL RECEIVED SOME BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, IN PART BECAUSE NOT EVERY COUNTY REQUIRES EMISSIONS TESTING. BUT ROB ALDENBERG WITH PENNFUTURE SAYS DOING AWAY WITH EMISSIONS TESTING COULD BE PROBLEMATIC AT A TIME WHEN A THIRD OF AIR POLLUTION COMES FROM VEHICLES. WHAT WE’RE SEEING ARE COUNTIES THAT HAVE IMPROVED THEIR AIR QUALITY, IMPROVE THEIR NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS, YET THEY’RE STILL STUCK IN THIS TESTING. AND IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT THERE ARE COUNTIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THIS. WE DO HAVE CERTAINLY CLEANER CARS, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT REDUCE EMISSIONS. BUT BEYOND THOSE DESIGN STEPS, THERE’S VERY FEW PROGRAMS THAT ACTUALLY ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM. NOW, IT’S UNCLEAR WHAT THE STATE HOUSE WILL DO WITH THE LEGISLATION. THIS GROWING SEASON PRESENTED A CHALLENGE FOR MANY FRUIT FARMERS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, INCLUDING THOSE IN YORK COUNTY. FLINCHBAUGH ORCHARD LOST MOST OF THEIR FRUIT CROPS, BUT THEY AREN’T LETTING THAT STOP THEM. THEY’RE GROWING SWEET CORN THIS YEAR. INSTEAD. CREWS ARE ALREADY HARD AT WORK SOWING THE SEEDS. THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR TO GROW SWEET CORN. AND WITH THE FREE SPACE FROM THE FRUIT, FLINCHBAUGH DECIDED THAT THIS WAS THEIR BEST OPTION. THE OWNERS SAY NOT ONLY IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, BUT PUSH THROUGH THE UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST. WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO PIVOT WITH JOY. AND, YOU KNOW, EVERY OTHER HOUR, I THINK WE’VE PIVOTED THIS YEAR SINCE APRIL. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY IT’S A NEW CURVEBALL THROWN AT US. BUT IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO REALIZE YOU STILL HAVE SO MUCH, WHAT DO WE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE? AND SO TO US, IT WASN’T LIKE NECESSARILY BE RESILIENT. IT’S LIKE WE STILL HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH. HOW CAN WE TAKE THAT AND CONTINUE TO USE IT FOR GOOD? WILL HAVE FRUIT THIS SUMMER. THEY’RE OUTSOURCING FROM FARMS DOWN SOUTH, SO IT MIGHT COST A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN NORMAL, BUT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE SWEET CORN WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE MARKET SOON. NATIONAL CPR AND AED AWARENESS WEEK IS NOW UNDERWAY IN LANCASTER. EMS IS REMINDING US THAT ANYONE CAN BECOME A LIFE SAVER. A 50 YEAR OLD MAN WAS SAVED AFTER HIS WIFE PERFORMED CPR. WHEN HE WAS FOUND NOT AWAKE AND NOT BREATHING. EMT, WHO WAS PART OF THE CREW THAT ARRIVED MINUTES LATER, NOW ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO LEARN CPR BECAUSE IT CAN TRULY SAVE LIVES. EARLY CPR IS ESSENTIAL, SO I THINK THAT THE FACT THAT SHE STARTED CPR RIGHT AWAY DEFINITELY INCREASED HIS SURVIVAL RATE. MANY TRAININGS TAKE PLACE ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY IN PERSON AND REMO
