Public hearings resume today, on the plan to permanently close 29 Philadelphia public schools. Emotions ran high at the School Reform Commission last night. Chanting "Save our Schools" and "Moratorium," a few dozen opponents to the school closing plan marched into the School Reform Commission meeting, carrying pictures of Governor Corbett and Mayor Nutter. The five-member School Reform Commission will hear more testimony today and tomorrow, before voting March 7th.

A Wilmington couple was arrested after police found an arsenal of guns and more than 5,000 bags of heroin in their possession. On Friday, Feb. 15 at around 11:45 p.m., Kevin and Shauntai Harris were stopped by members of the Drug Organized Crime and Vice Unit (DOCV) on the 500 block of N Franklin Street in Wilmington.

Smithfield Packing Co. is recalling about 38,000 pounds of pork sausage that may contain small pieces of plastic, likely from gloves. The Agriculture Departmentâ€™s Food Safety and Inspection Service reports that the Virginia company recalled certain containers of a product called â€œGwaltney mild pork sausage roll.â€ The sausage was produced on Jan. 11 and was distributed in Alabama, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. The problem was discovered after the company received two consumer complaints. There have been no reports of injury. Consumers with questions about the recall should call 877-933-4625.
