PHILADELPHIA - Beer lovers, rejoice! A new agreement between local beer distributors and its workers means your Fourth of July is officially saved.Teamsters Local 830 went on strike earlier this week after rejecting a proposed contract from the Delaware Valley Importers Distributors Association.

Picket lines went up at three big beer distributors: Muller, Inc. and Origlio Beverage in Philadelphia and Penn Beer in Hatfield in Montgomery County.

All three companies distribute popular alcohol beverages, including Miller products, Coors, Budweiser, and White Claw.The nearly week-long strike came to an end Saturday when both the union and association came to an agreement on a new, four-year labor contract."This was a fight for economic fairness and a better quality of life for our members.

I am proud to say we’ve achieved our goals and today’s overwhelming ratification by the Teamsters Local 830 membership attests to the great gains we’ve realized in this new four-year agreement," said Daniel Grace, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 830.Grace said the strike could have left beverage shelves at several local stores empty for the Fourth of July."Beer will be flowing during the July 4th holiday, making it a happy one for the people of the Delaware Valley and the thousands of small businesses that rely on the beer industry for their livelihoods," according to a joint statement. .

Nobody in the area really is to speak of," Shaw said.The fire chief estimated there were 800 gallons of oil in the gearbox and around 1,300 gallons of mineral oil in the ground-level transformer, which caused the smoke to appear dark black in the sky.Firefighters said they let the fire in the wind turbine burn itself out.The facility’s operator, Innergex Renewable Energy, said all personnel at the more than 31,000-acre complex are safe, and the fire only impacted one of its energy turbines.The Foard City wind farm has around 139 GE turbines and was commissioned in September 2019.Shaw said he has seen plenty of videos of turbine fires, but this is the first time he recalled an incident involving one in Crowell.WIND ENERGY BECOMES SECOND-LARGEST SOURCE OF US POWER FOR 1 DAY IN MARCH"We’ve done training with the wind farm company, and they are not safe to approach during that scenario.

'Ball is in your corner': Family accusing Sesame Place of discrimination calls on Sea World to take action
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. - A week after a controversial video of an incident at Sesame Place went viral, the family is calling on its parent company Sea World to take action.Jodi Brown posted the video of her daughter Skylar Brown, 6, and niece Nylah Brown, 6, being ignored by the character Rosita during a parade at the theme park. The video, which has been viewed more than 750,000 times, sparked national outrage and prompted celebrities and public figures to call on Sesame Place for answers.Sesame Place has issued three apologies, calling the incident "unacceptable" and saying it would conduct training for employees to deliver a more "inclusive, equitable and entertaining experience."More families have since come forward with allegations and videos alleging similar experiences at the park. A new video shared Friday appears to show Rosita interacting with a white child after ignoring Skylar and Nylah. The video also allegedly contradicts Sesame Place's claim that the character was motioning "No" to another family.RELATED HEADLINESIn a second press conference Saturday, attorney B'Ivory Lamarr stood alongside attorney Ben Crump, Jodi Brown and both children, who he called the "faces of America as it stands against racism."Crump, a civil rights and personal injury attorney, says they are demanding action from Sea World, telling the parent company, "The ball is in your corner.""We will see if Sea World will do the right thing: danger or opportunity," he said.
