white horse pike. that's going to slow folks down coming in from cherry hill. hello to fishtown. ninety-five on the right. school buses headed southbound. and there is the northbound new stretch of roadway that everybody's using. and the onramp from girard avenue to head north is now open. and some volume here on the freeway, headlight headed in towards philadelphia. looking good at the airport.

questioning witnesses who were in the area at the time. but right now, they don't have a suspect or a motive in the crime. >> coming up on 6:04, popular recreation center in south philly, is suddenly shutdown. >> yes, all the sudden city officials say the century old building may not be safe. >> so, steve keeley is at the vare recreation center more on what's going on there, steve? >> well, look how big this place is, just to start, you're looking athen tire city block, and that's not counting all of the ball fields, and the playgrounds, out back, to take up few acres. huge both physically, responsibly, for this south philly neighborhood, a gathering spot for generations for both kids, and adults, who also have programs here. and a sudden shut-down friday after an outside structural engineering company hired by the city's rec department said it is showing it age with severe, severe problems, that have compromised the big buildings integrity. >> it is actually good place for kids to go and have fun, they even help with you your homework. >> it has been a lot of good things in that community center. so, it is, you know, unfortunate, that this has happened. >> we just don't have an unlimited amount of revenue that we can allocate toward, you know, toward thing like this, toward needs like this, and, unfortunately, over time, that adds up, and situations like this happen. >> well, all of those outside ball fields and playgrounds are going to stay open, alex, mike, the sitly try to relocate all of the inside programs to other parks and rec centers, still, not known yet, though, which ones and how far away mom and dad will have to take the kids or even if they're able to take the kids, and, if not, how will the kids get there? a lot of still unanswered questions. >> at love them. all right, steve, thank you for. that will look up there. >> what's that on the roof? >> it is a plane. no, it is a principal, principal long. >> principal long? bucks county principal woke up this morning not in his bed. no, look at him, from overnight. that's his view yesterday afternoon, when he went up to the roof of the school. he slept there. he's still there. why? >> so lauren johnson is at newtown middle school. why is he on the roof, lauren? >> there he is, still up there. >> here's the short answer, guys, it is hurricane harvey, out in texas, the longer answer is think kindness. campaign by the council rock school district here where newtown middle school is, to think outside the box. and do something kind for other people. well, this kindness stretching all the way to texas, and it is not over yet. so you guys have signed, sealed, delivered $8,000 check. that's what sent you up there? >> that's correct. $8,000 went to the pto at wolf elementary school. for them to use as they seed their needs are at this current time. because the needs are always changing. >> and principal long, you're not done yet. you say you want the help to continue. >> no, no, we're not done at all. this is all year process. so our next step would be to, again, following the direction out with our connection with pto and jasmin russell the teacher down at wolf elementary, coats, gifts around the holidays, possibly turkeys around thanksgiving, meals, so it is all open right now, but it is an ongoing process, yes. >> this is a lesson your student won't never be able to learn in a book. what do you think the lifeless on is that they've take ann way from this? >> again, i think small acts, doesn't have to be big act every kindness can change a person's life for that one moment. so if you get an opportunity to do something kind for somebody, take it. >> last night you decided i'm going to have some barbeque for texas, cheese steak for philly. you went to bed around 10:30, it is chilly outside. how was your night? >> great night. good night. hey, listen, colds night are better night sleeping for me. >> at least not raining, right? >> not raining. i'm not

it. they hope that this is the beginning after new era of sixers basketball. is the process finally over? is it the time is now? >> where is ben simmons, markelle fultz, both will make their nba debut tonight. of course, joel embiid will be on the floor, in a regular season game for the first time since january. although he will have limited minute. >> he's been very vocal about how he feels about that. >> he didn't like it. by the way, our free agent, jj reddick, he's ready to go, reddick is ready. and contributing players, like dario czar i can, and robert covington, had cover story yesterday in the paper, and sixers fans have plenty to be hopeful for. the sixers play the wizards in d.c. tonight at 7:00. >> and then, on friday, we have our home opener against the boston celtics. but if you are watchig last night, my gosh, see the calves play the celtics? what a start for boston. >> this injury oh, gosh so hard to see. the gordon hayward, he broke his ankle, and just in a horrible way. and a lot of people were just so upset by it, because he's one of their stars, he just got to boston. >> that's right. >> and then to have this happen, in like the first five minutes of the game. >> that's right. i don't know that the bone came through the skin. but people were shocked, players were -- had their head in their hands. >> because it was the way his foot was turned, it was just not, not right. >> so the players reaction, i mean, cleveland did win the game, 102 to 99. what their new, the new -- >> kyree? >> kyree had the last second shot and he miss t the game was played in cleveland, matter of fact. >> so you know he wanted to proof cleveland wrong, put it in their face then he missed. >> they booed him relentlessly. so anyway, boston celtics in for our home opener without one of their big stars now. nfl players, owners, executives, meeting in new york city, talking over an issue that has people on both sides of course boiling mad. what malcolm jenkins, our philadelphia eagle, had to say about the first meeting, regarding anthem protests. after 8 years of chris christie, is kim guadagno the change new jersey really needs? guadagno is christie's hand-picked successor. says she's "proud to be part of the christie administration." guadagno was chris christie's right hand as our schools came under attack, critical services were underfunded, and our credit rating was downgraded...11 times. from the bridge to the beach, we've seen it all, and we've had enough. kim guadagno isn't the change we need. >> police rolled up, look at them! that set the women off. they started kicking the front door, look, throwing things around. >> and now this is whether it goat really rough! look at this. >> the officer became involved. pepper spray, you know, brought out. >> listen to this. >> oh -- >> at 1.1 of the offenders pick up bottles of lighter fluid and start sprague it all over the store. with a lighter threatened to burn down the store. >> bombs away. >> yes. >> so one of them actually accused the awning willing at one of the officer at the scene. both eventually taken into custody, they face laundry list of charges. >> laundry list of charges, at least they have laundry detergent for those charges. i believe that's what she was throwing, wasn't it? laundry detergent? >> lighter fluid, society a -- soda, all kinds of things. >> not what anyone in california wanted to hear. another wilds fire, wild fire. can i not say the word wild fire. fire that's wild. burning in wine country. yes, another one popped up. and update on the effort to try to get this one under control. >> 6:16, frost advisory in effect for 9:00 for the following count its, ocean, half of burlington, atlantic, cumberland. notice on the map where the pine barons are, that's where you have good chance every seeing scattered frost this morning. let's check the temperatures. we have 30's in pottstown. we have 43 degrees in mount pocono. it is only 39 in millville to start your day. forty in vineland. forty-one voorhees, 43 moorestown, sea isle city, good morning, it is 48 degrees. brr. yes, little jacket wet they are morning, high pressure in control, though, this is going to be our weather maker for the next couple of days, in fact, probably through the weekends. but as it moves off shore, it will allow slightly milder temperatures, to move in, so if you liked yesterday, you're going to like today and the next couple every days even more. so, there is really nothing to show you on radar. let's talk about what happened already before we talk about what's going to happen. average hi, 66 degrees, we were below average yesterday with the high of 61. today, we gain 10 degrees. seventy-one. and lower 70s again tomorrow. then that warming trends continues into the weekend. mid 70s, on saturday and sunday, and we have our altzheimer's walk in wilmington, delaware, saturday morning. and the weather just about perfect, for that. next chance every rain not until it is time for the eagles game at the linc on monday night. 101.1 more p.m. m our radio partner, bob kelly. you can hear your forecast on the radio and tv every single morning. >> sounds good, sue, great to have you back, 6:18. we've got overturned and accident involving a deer. here is a live look at the overturned vehicle, this is i95 northbound approaching the interchange for the platt bridge. anyone leaving the airport area, all of the police activity here, looks like they're blocking the ramp to the platt bridge. so you'll have to stick with 95, and use the girard point double decker bridge. again, that's right there, in front of the airport. headed northbound. accident involving a deer, the accident i showed you the last time around, actually, is the one we're speaking every. the deer offer to the shoulder. police on the scene, all westbound, on the schuylkill, jammed up from approaching the blue route, all the way out toward king of prussia. so watch for some activity in that area. also, in the neighborhood, bala cynwyd, accident montgomery avenue anibal an avenue. just got words, some equipment problems on the broad street subway. so they're starting off our wednesday morning, with some delays on the subway. mark frank forwards line looking good. no delays at the airport. mike and alex back over to you. >> thank you very much. developing out of california where there is a massive fire at an oil refinery. this is at the chevron refinery right by the los angeles international airport. the fire happened after reported explosion in the area, sending thick black cloud of smoke into the air. at one point the flames threatened power lines and storage tanks filled with fuel. no injuries have been reported, the fire department did not order evacuations, for residents, but houses are really close to that refinery there. >> let's get back to the wilds fires. because fire fight remembers facing more challenges, in their battle against them. crews are trying to put out a new fire, that is burning along saint mound -- steep mountain us terrain in the santa cruz area, it will be difficult to fight because the access point are dirt roads erroded during last year's mud sly. so residents are real concerned about this. >> the way we've seen fires goes up here, now we're pretty nervous. the winds kick up tonight, it could be here in a half hour. so hopefully somebody will wake me up. >> so now we're looking at surveillance video outside santa rose a look at those fires. >> so close. >> 606 staffers lost their homes to the fires, but the hospital wasn't touched. >> that was about six a hundred homes and buildings gone. >> can you imagine if that hospital had -- >> you can see the flames coming up towards the hospital. there could soon and deal to extend obamacare health insurance exchanges. this is not over. >> so there is follows president trump's move last week to ends federal subsidies for insurance premiums. the bipartisan agreement allows lower income americans to buy coverage through the obamacare markets for two more years. in exchange, states will have greater flexibility, when it comes to coverage requirements, keeping the cost sharing payments in place helps prevent premiums from rising, and main bargaining point for democrats. okay, big story here in philadelphia. tonight we're finally here. sixers fans, are not particularly happy about joel embiid's minute restriction, but still there is excitement for tonight's game. you know, joel's not happy either. >> hear his latest angry reaction to being only allowed to play, well, about 15, 16 minutes tonight. when you're a double-dipping pension-padder like steve sweeney, it's important to maintain a certain... lifestyle. that's why sweeney spent over a hundred grand of his campaign funds on high-priced meals and other gifts. we're talking fine cigars, fancy watches, pricey restaurants, and expensive wines - all to charm the type of folks who helped him raise your taxes 145 times. too many in south jersey are struggling. but steve sweeney's looking out for himself, not for us. >> sixers open up, but embiid still on minute restriction, something he's not too happy about. >> wish i was playing more minutes. i think i'm ready, i think i'm ready for more than i don't know whatever number they hav have. >> flyers, panthers last night, flyers up three-nothing, nolan patrick leaves it right between his legs for dale wise, flyers take this game, 501. >> the nfl and players met in new york yesterday, to discuss social change around the league, eagles defense i have back, malcolm jenkins was, there but doesn't look like anything is changing just yet. >> i'm not sure we're close to resolution, but conversations are ongoing. it went from, you know, just phonecalls, to obviously the first time meeting so i don't think we could come up with a whole plan and solution in two hours, and look being forward to the opportunity to really put good plan together. >> that's sports in a minute. i'm kristen rodgers thanks, kristen. baseball playoffs continue in the nlcs, the dodgers looking to make a commanding three-zero lead over the cubbies. uh-huh. look at this. dominant. seven strikeouts, dodgers ends up winning the game six to one. they're now one win away from going to the world series in a sweep. >> and then the yankees looking to tie the series with the astros, new york is down a run in the eighth, when aaron judge hits one offer the wall, driving in a run, and tying the game. a few batters later gary sanchez hits two-run double and the yankees win, and the series now tied at two. >> yankees win. yankees win. ever hear their announcer john sterling? >> yankees won. >> ever heard? >> do you think he's shacking his head like that? >> i had a key chain when you pressed it, it did that. yankees win. >> i've listen to many broadcasters there, when i lived up there, yankees win. >> john sterling. >> you what? >> oh,. >> waiting? >> look at. that will. >> i like when the ads say skip. you know what i mean? >> they know how we say. that will sometimes they get you, they force to you listen all the way through. >> yankees win. >> look at ryan. >> keep stalling until you get it. >> like the wizards of oz, guy behind the curtain. look at ryan. he's very handsome. >> go, ryan, go. >> i could go to the next store. >> i are we stretching? >> coy dot tease then come back for the john sterling if you want. >> or if you want to keep stretching. >> bee got right now? listen? >> yankees win. oh, my goodness. he dropped the ball. >> what an ending. the yankees win nine-eight in the most improbable fashion. >> that's not him at all. >> oh, it is not? >> this is awkward. >> ya, that's not him. this is some kind of -- probably michael k the other announcer. no, his name is john sterling. yankees win. yankees win. >> back to the drawing board. >> okay, major decision expected today in the jerry sandusky case later this morning, the ruling that could set him free. on bail. >> plus steve keeley. >> well, a different major decision for the little kids who live all around the vare recreation center, the only people will be getting in i referee agents for the foreseeable future, renovation workers. mast heist >> 6:30. waiting for tonight. is tonight the night? is this when it all happens? the tanks we get after all these years of tanking. will we be saying thank you, to the sixers? >> tanks for the memories. we hope. >> yes. >> so, also, south philadelphia families left scrambling this morning, after popular rec center abruptly shuts down, with little warning, that would make it abrupt. why the city says the building was no longer safe for the kids to play in. >> and a principal's spends the night up on the roof of his school? >> oops. >> the 8,000 reasons why he isn't coming down until later this morning. and it doesn't end there. >> he shot that video yesterday at 2:30 when he went up there. he's still up there. >> great vantage point. we have live shot of him on the roof coming up in just a bit. good day, it is wednesday, october the 18th, 2017. we're having a mural slapped on to the side of our tv station here at fourth and market, right on the pad yo. >> because philly is such a mural sit. >> i that's right. and these guys are famous for about the g up big animals on the sides of buildings around town, they've done five of them. there they are out there. oh, they look ominous, don't he? >> they do. looks very halloween. >> well, they are staring at the wall. these are his helpers. evan is the one who is going to be painting. jarrod, if you could, maybe, we can't pan over? oh, i know why. i know why. are

steak or sipping a wawa coffee. >> i line, i leak that. >> very specific. iliac that, as well. then we're getting some other ones, people really weighing in, a lot of animals out there, a lot of options, then hey, mike anal he can, the possible up mike encounter last year. >> what's weirds is i encountered him right under the wall where ever and is doing the painting. >> that's true. >> i

but the okay? >> you were the guy. >> thank you. >> nate. former hurricane, now abut okay. >> it is national chocolate cupcake day. probably frozen out there, 30's, 40's, nice warm fleece, flyers won last night, make sure to wear a hat. that's the argument we will be seeing a lot, now that things are getting chillier out there. 48 degrees, is our current temperature, sun doesn't rise officially until 7:15. checking some other temperatures, so you know just how cold it is. it is 45 in rehoboth. it is 45 in atlantic city. but only 33 in maze landing. valley forge, 41, perkasie, 41, as well. we are going to get to high of around 71 degrees later on, breitbart, breitbart sunshine, that's the advantage, clear skies overnight, that's why it is chilly. but we'll have plenty of sunshine all day, for as long as it lasts, nice cool afternoon, high of 71, bob kelly? >> definition of the short s shrif, i just look it up, very little time before execution. so i don't know if we want that for the

the platt bridge. it is an s.u.v. a lot of firefighters on the scene here. that's causing delays. so if you are leaving the airport area, or headed northbound in towards the city, stick with 95. and use the girard point double decker bridge. that will save you time trying to get over the platt bridge. out on the schuylkill, westbound, delays pretty much 476 all the way out toward king of prussia. we had earlier accident. that involved a deer. and then three separate cars got involved. twenty minute delays on the broad street subway, all because of equipment problems, this morning. and jammo,

years old, the building just deteriorated over time. >> well, the city says it, will notify the parent around here, of when, where and how all the programs here will be moving to other open rec centers throughout philly. alex, mike, the how part for many here, questioning this, is how will their kids who walked here every day get to the further away rec centers, once they make this plan
