Say yes to the dress. Good morning, everybody. Live look at the a the schuylkill westbound, heavy from approaching the boulevard all the way out to conshohocken. The rain is hitting us hard here now on the the schuylkill expressway. Half an hour delay out of town, and even here a heavy downpour southbound on i95, were backup from cottman avenue all the way into girard. Factor in some extra time, little will extra wiggle room. We have had a number of accidents, as soon as the rain starts to roll role through, we will get some fender benders and a jackknife tractor trailer, southbound on the new jersey turnpike right here near exit number one, otherwise, mass transit looking g mike and alex, back over to you. Police investigating a homicide, in the citys over brooks section. A 25 yearold man was shot in the chest inside of a car, in the 1600 block of north redfield street. Police were called after the car was left running, no word on any suspects. We will stay on it. If you ride new Jersey Transit, at the least some lines, be prepared to be recorded. That is because. Visually and audio. Yes, everything that you say and do while riding certain trains is being saved by a new surveillance system. Hey, steve, he has been riding the rails, steve. Reporter mike, we are now leaving trenton on our way back to south jersey. Old saying you have the right to remain silent and you may want to exercise that rise every time you are doing what we are doing and that is riding river line when camden and trenton. If you lied new Jersey Transits light rail system not only are all of these cameras watching your every move and your seats as you get on and off both here at the train and at the stops at the station but now as you can see on the big yellow notice right by the door, it tells new english and spanish, that new Jersey Transit is now listening to you and your conversations, with both video and audio surveillance now in place. We have talked to some of the riders and they see it from both sides. It is an invasion of privacy. I dont like it. Reporter does it make you think twice about talking to your family and friend on your phone if you have to. Do i a lot of texts. Reporter almost doesnt make sense because so many people are on so many of these trains and so many seats how do you listen to all these conversations at one time. That is why, i have to keep my head phones in at all times. I think it is necessary sometimes because people play radio, on the train and they have to have some way of being able to police that process, so it is advantageous for us. Reporter what about concerns it is an invasion of privacy and there is laws against eavesdropping on private conversations. Well, that is all over. You get that on the telephone. They eavesdrop on the telephone. What can you do about it. We have given these rights up. Reporter you dont think recording peoples conversations will make you safer. No. People dont talk like that no more, they get on the phone and text. Reporter so as Joan I Mitchell once sang shes looking at life side now, and looking at both side. Number transit must have someone speaking multiple language and manning the microphone speakers, because not all conversations are in english on this train. We saw that on our way up to trenton. So unless they have got an electronic automatic translation that can put russian, arab, french, spanish, into english they may not even know or understand every conversation they may be hearing on every train. That is true. Steve, thank you. See you when you get back down here closer to us. 7 04. Philadelphia mayor jim kenney will formally appoint the next fire and prisons commissioners for the city.

With the lows of ed snider we want to make sure we brought in one of his close friend, bernie parent. Good to see you as us. Good morning. Good to see you. Give me a hug man. Both of us knew he was quite ill, and fighting off cancer for last couple of years. Yes. But still a shock when you hear it. What a wonderful man. What a wonderful journey for what 50 years. You know, when you look back, first of all, went to california with clark and joe watson, some weeks ago and it was good to see him. And yet, it was sad at the end because when we left, you know, that was the last time we would meet but going back to ed snider what he had has done in his life, it is incredible. The vision the man had. At 33. A at 33. The vision was incredible. Look at what he has done, look at what he has created, thousands of jobs in philadelphia. He has brought excitement, and happiness for millions of the people. What he has done is incredible. I tell the people from the very beginning, many times he sat at the Kitchen Table with his wife, wondering how we would make the payroll. That is when he first started the team in the late 60s. Yep good didnt have enough machine toy pay you all. How about this. You look, you look at his journey, what he has done and it is incredible. It is a sad moment, you know to lose our friend but at the same time lets rejoyce and be grateful what he has ton to celebrate this life. Before we talk about what he has done for the kids of our area, with the youth hockey, what was he like when he was in his 30s, and early 40s. He was fun good he was fun. You know, one thing about ed snider and i heard on the interview not the too long ago he said two basic things in his life. He said have fun, and have a vision. Think about this. And if you really think about this you have to have fun. You have to have a vision. This is, what he had, but when he was 33, in the beginning i remember going on that fishing trip, with him, holmgren, clark, we went to North Carolina and we had a fishing trip and we went in a win beg owe. We had a wonderful time. It was a lot of fun. Do you think that he knew that he would be successful. I asked him the question, you know, i asked him the question, i said, what were you looking at . What was your vision. He said to be in the National Hockey league and the second vision was to win the stanley cup. I mean to win it so quickly though 74 75. I asked him do you know how you were going to get there which is, you know, he gave me a fantastic answer. He said no. All you need is vision and to march forward and it will be shown to you as you move on forward, justin to drive toward that. Yes. Do you think it ate him up though that we could not get another stanley cup. Of course. His goal, ed sniders goal was always to put the best team on the ice every year to give us a a chance to win the stanley cup. He came close quite a few times. Especially the last time with the black hawks he came so close. Yes. It was so nice that he invited me to sit in the box. I was in the box with him that night that the black hawks won it on that soft goal. We didnt even know it went in. It was funny. He would have a even if right next to him in that box. If he didnt like something he would whip up that phone. He was so into it until the very end. His passion was the team, the flyers. He became very successful in different ways in life but his passion was his hockey team. The people in philadelphia. He could not do enough for his players and people in philly. It is one big family. We say it was thank the lord to have ed snide inner our lives. They said bobby clarke, said he probably wouldnt even be playing hockey if it wasnt ed because he was kind of injured. Yes. It is just, lets be grateful. Lets celebrate his life. Yes. Thank you you. Get over the sadness a little bit and celebrate. Good to see you, bernie.
