SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - The Vare Recreation Center is getting much needed rehabilitation and leaders hope the facelift provides more than just a safe space for kids to play."This is a massive part of this community, this is a massive place for kids," Eagles Center Jason Kelce said.Football stars, elected city officials and community members braved the warm South Philadelphia sun, Wednesday, to celebrate the ground-breaking of a massive rebuilding of an iconic Philly recreation center.MORE HEADLINES:"Let me just say this – our kids deserve this.

They deserve quality spaces," Mayor Kenney remarked.The project, spearheaded by the Rebuild Project and funded, in part, by the city’s soda tax, will bring a plethora of state-of-the-art centers to the area."The new Vare will be close to 19,000 square feet.

It will have a 7,000 square foot indoor basketball gym, with bleachers. An almost 5,000 square foot gymnastic gym with brand new equipment," Philadelphia’s Parks and Recreation Commissioner Kathryn Ott Lovell stated.It will also include two outdoor basketball courts and a synthetic turf field, among other upgrades.It’s not the only city space getting a facelift.

In West Philadelphia, a brand new Kobe Bryant Dream Court was unveiled at the Tustin Recreational Playground. Locals are happy to see it open."Man, just the smiles on their faces and the fact that they are receiving some type of love to have a fun and great environment," remarked Taqiy Muhammad, with Mural Arts Philadelphia.Both of the efforts, according to community leaders, is much more about saving our streets than providing a place to simply play."This is a place to really be a kid, have fun, play, be safe.

Rogers CEO apologizes, says ‘maintenance upgrade’ behind major outage

Rogers Communications has apologized for a serious network outage that disrupted service for more than 10 million Canadians. The “network system failure” was caused by a maintenance upgrade, he says.In an interview with Global News, Tony Staffieri said there was “a maintenance upgrade in our core network, and that caused our routers to malfunction.”As a result, some “routers erroneously flooded the network with traffic.” Rogers says wireless services restored for ‘vast majority’ as mass outage drags on Staffieri said the corporation has come to the conclusion that this series of events caused the serious network outage after deploying “hundreds and thousands” of people to work on the problem, including some from “around the world.”He confirmed the outage hit more than 10 million customers.The outage, which persisted throughout most of Friday, impacted cellular and internet services across Canada, bringing major sectors from banking to government services to a halt.Rogers did not acknowledge the issue until just before 9 a.m.

Pa. man sentenced to prison in rapes of 4 ex-university students

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A man has been sentenced to decades in prison in the rapes of four former Penn State students over a seven-year period.Jeffrey Fields, 38, of Port Matilda was sentenced Friday in Centre County to 29 1/2 to 61 years in state prison in the assaults, which occurred between 2010 and 2017 in State College, the Centre Daily Times reported.Fields, who worked in State College at the time, pleaded guilty in March to all but two of the charges filed against him, including felony counts of rape and sexual assault.First Assistant District Attorney Sean McGraw said Fields was a "very sophisticated rapist" who committed "calculated, planned attacks on vulnerable women."One victim said in a statement to President Judge Pamela Ruest that the defendant "Changed my life completely. He changed who I am at my core."Defense attorney Steve Trialonas said in a sentencing memo that each of the rapes had "…overtones of power and control; two aspects in Jeff’s life that were absent outside these crimes." He said his client never challenged the evidence against him since his July 2020 arrest, never sought bail and didn't want the victims to have to testify.Fields spoke for nearly 20 minutes, calling his crimes "unspeakable.""I regret everything I’ve done.

Pa. dispatcher who didn't send ambulance charged in 2020 death

GREENE COUNTY, Pa. - A Pennsylvania 911 operator faces a rare charge of involuntary manslaughter for failing to send an ambulance to the rural home of a woman who died of internal bleeding a day later, despite a plea from the woman's daughter that without medical help "she's going to die."A Greene County detective last week filed charges against Leon "Lee" Price, 50, of Waynesburg, in the July 2020 death of Diania Kronk, 54, based on Price's reluctance to dispatch help without getting more assurance that Kronk would actually go to the hospital."I believe she would be alive today if they would have sent an ambulance," said Kronk’s daughter Kelly Titchenell, 38.Price, who also was charged with reckless endangerment, official oppression and obstruction, questioned Titchenell repeatedly during the four-minute call about whether Kronk would agree to be taken for treatment.Price was arraigned June 29 and released on bail. He did not reply to messages left at a home number listed in his name, and officials said a defense lawyer has not contacted district court."It has to be very clear throughout the entire state, that when you call it's not going to be conditioned on somebody on the other end of the phone saying there's going to be a service provided or not," said Lawrence E.
