BUT MOST OF US WILL BE IN THE 60S. FEW OF US COULD EVEN STAY IN THE 50S. TODAY, FAR NORTHEAST. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE, HOW MUCH SUN YOU GET.

AS THAT BOX TRUCK HIT A CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE AND THEN STRUCK AND KILLED THE WORKERS ON THE SHOULDER IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANES OF THE INTERSTATE EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING NEAR LEWISBERRY, THE WORKERS WERE FROM A COMPANY IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS DEVASTATING TO A COMMUNITY, DEVASTATING TO A COMPANY, UH, THERE FROM SOMERSET. IT’S A SMALL TOWN. THE IMPACT GOES FAR AND WIDE BEYOND JUST THE FACT THAT OF THESE THREE FOLKS, IT’S THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR FRIENDS, PEOPLE THAT KNOW THEM, THEIR COWORKERS WAS. PENNDOT RELEASED A STATEMENT READING, IN PART, THESE WORKERS LEFT THEIR HOMES FULLY EXPECTING TO RETURN SAFELY AT THE END OF THEIR SHIFT. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THEM, THEIR FAMILIES, AND EVERYONE IMPACTED BY THIS TRAGEDY. TRAGEDY. NOW, STATE POLICE SAY THE DRIVER OF THE BOX TRUCK WAS NOT INJURED IN YORK COUNTY. GABRIEL THOMAS WGAL NEWS EIGHT. THANKS, GABRIELLE. AND RIGHT NOW, A YORK CITY POLICE OFFICER REMAINS IN THE DAUPHIN COUNTY PRISON CHARGED WITH RAPING A ONE YEAR OLD STATE POLICE SAY 28 YEAR OLD STEVEN CUGINI SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THE 13 MONTH OLD AT A HOME IN ELIZABETHVILLE, DAUPHIN COUNTY, AND ALSO IN SPRINGETTSBURY TOWNSHIP IN YORK COUNTY. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. THE POLICE AFFIDAVIT SAYS. A DAYCARE WORKER AT THE YMCA IN HALIFAX NOTICED SERIOUS INJURIES ON THE GIRL WHEN SHE WAS DROPPED OFF MONDAY MORNING, AND A DOCTOR DETERMINED THAT SHE HAD BEEN THE VICTIM OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND ALSO HAD A BROKEN LEG. STATE POLICE SAY THE VICTIM’S MOTHER INITIALLY TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT THE GIRL HAD FALLEN IN THE BATHTUB, BUT THEN CHANGED THE STORY TO SAY THAT THE INJURIES HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE FAMILY DOG. POLICE SAY CUGINI ALSO MADE SIMILAR CLAIMS, BUT TROOPERS SAY TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE MOTHER’S PHONE SHOW CUGINI DID TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BABY’S BRUISES AND COURT RECORDS SHOW THE BABY’S MOTHER DESCRIBED HEARING THE LITTLE GIRL CRYING WHILE LOCKED IN THE BATHROOM WITH CUGINI OVER THE WEEKEND, THE YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS PLACED CUGINI ON SUSPENSION FOLLOWING THOSE CHARGES. HIS BAIL IS SET AT $200,000. TIME NOW IS 605, AND A FEDERAL JUDGE IS NOW ORDERING THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO TURN OVER REPORTS RELATED TO THE DEADLY GAS EXPLOSION AT THE MB PALMER FACTORY IN WEST READING. THE BLAST IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR KILLED SEVEN WORKERS AT THAT FACTORY. THE NTSB IS STILL INVESTIGATING THE EXPLOSION AND HAS REQUESTED DOCUMENTS THAT PERTAIN TO UGI. HOWEVER, THE PUC SAID THE MATERIAL WAS CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL. IN A STATEMENT, THE PUC SAYS IT’S PLEASED WITH THE COURT’S ORDER AS IT NOW ALLOWS THE COMMISSION TO COMPLY WITH BOATS STATE LAW AND THE NTSB SUBPOENA. IN LANCASTER COUNTY. PECO TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS SAID THAT THEY ARE COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW. SO LAST NIGHT THEY HELD THIS MEETING TO PASS A RESOLUTION SAYING THAT PEQUEA TOWNSHIP WOULD NOT BECOME A SANCTUARY CITY, MEANING THE TOWNSHIP WILL REPORT AN IMMIGRANT WHO DOES NOT HAVE PERMANENT LEGAL STATUS. STEPS. MY MAIN FOCUS ON THE WHOLE THING IS I WANTED TO BE KNOWN IN ILLEGAL COMMUNITY. DON’T COME TO PEQUOT TOWNSHIP. THIS DECISION COMES AFTER THE LANCASTER CITY COUNCIL PASSED AN ORDINANCE THAT PREVENTS LOCAL POLICE FROM ASKING ABOUT A PERSON’S IMMIGRATION STATUS, EXCEPT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BEING ORDERED TO DO SO BY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW.
