‘Premium’ liquor store does bang-up business over
holiday weekend
11/29/2005
By TIMOTHY LOGUE
tlogue@delcotimes.com
SPRINGFIELD -- Though much quieter Monday, several bare
shelves at the upscale Wine and Spirits store on Baltimore Pike
served as a reminder of busier times. "We did $90,000 last
Wednesday, which is unbelievable," said assistant manager Joe
Ciciretti. "It was definitely a wine day. People were stocking up
for Thanksgiving."
In terms of sales, it was the single busiest day in the short
history of the "premium collection store," which opened four months
ago at the former home of I. Goldberg’s.
The store replaced two former state store locations, one at
Baltimore and Bishop avenues in Upper Darby, the other near the
intersection of Baltimore and Saxer avenues in Springfield.
On the same day a year ago, the Upper Darby store did $49,000 in
sales, also an extraordinary figure considering its limited size and
selection.
"What’s happening in Delaware County is a microcosm of what’s
happening statewide," said Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board
Chairman Jonathan Newman. "People who used to resent the
Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board have come to appreciate the great
customer service, attractive stores and the good product.
"In the last two years, we have seen the biggest year-over-year
growth since 1945 and we are on target for another record year."
With supermarket stores in Boothwyn and Glen Mills, a new premium
collection store in Drexel Hill at the Pilgrim Gardens Shopping
Center, and two more coming to Media and Broomall, Delaware County
shoppers have had a first-hand look at the transformation of the
Pennsylvania state store.
"I remember the days when you would go to the counter and they
wouldn’t suggest anything because they weren’t allowed to," said
Anne O’Laughlin of Springfield, who picked up a bottle of Riesling
at the Baltimore Pike store with the help of manager Andre Phelps.
"The variety is definitely better and displays and labeling are much
more user-friendly.
"I would say it’s improving but still not where we want it to be in
terms of regulation, store location, and prices."
Indeed, even the "specials" at Pennsylvania state stores cost much
more than they do in tax-free Delaware. A 1.75-liter bottle of
Tanqueray gin on sale for $33.99 in Springfield is selling for $6
less at Tri-State Liquors in Claymont. The same was true for Jack
Daniel’s whiskey, Grey Goose vodka and Beefeater gin.
"I’m from Montgomery County and I know people there and in Chester,
Bucks and Delaware County who thought nothing of going out of state
to buy their wine and liquor, even though it’s illegal," Newman
said. "We have worked hard to keep that business at home."
Phelps, who began working in Pennsylvania state stores 30 years ago,
said customers have been complimentary of his new store, which, in
addition to more than 3,000 brands of wine and liquor, features
glass and barware, cocktail onions and olives, and a
temperature-controlled wine room for the ever-changing "premium
collection."
"Back in the day, when a customer came up to the counter, they had
to know what they wanted, and we would go back and get it for them,"
said Phelps, general manager of the Springfield store. "The job is
much more difficult now. There’s a lot more variety and a lot more
interaction with the customers.
"They appreciate the appearance and the selection."
The new Wine and Spirits store in Media, on Baltimore Pike between
Lemon and Orange streets, is set to open Dec. 18. Newman said
discussions are under way to open an outlet store "in the vicinity"
of the Harrah’s Chester Casino & Racetrack.

Woman said held captive, brutally beaten by
‘beast’
LINDA REILLY, Times Correspondent11/29/2005
UPPER DARBY -- A 41-year-old Drexel Hill woman was held
captive over the weekend and allegedly brutalized by her boyfriend,
who described himself as a "beast" during a police interview. "This
is a really, really nasty domestic violence case," said
Superintendent Michael Chitwood. "Our assumption is he was holding
her hostage and was probably going to kill her and get rid of her."
Keith Patrick Dixon, 46, of the 4400 block of Township Line Road,
Drexel Hill, was arrested late Monday morning and arraigned on
charges of criminal attempt homicide, assault, unlawful restraint,
false imprisonment, possessing instruments of crime and tampering
with physical evidence, by Magisterial District Judge Harry
Karapalides, who set bail at $250,000 cash.
Police were summoned to the Tall Trees apartment complex by a
maintenance man, who noticed a pool of blood near a Dumpster and a
trail of blood leading to Building E.
Officers Mark Brown and Jerome Brown responded and knocked on
Dixon’s door.
"It was clear to both officers that a disturbance had occurred
inside the apartment," Detective Leo Hanshaw wrote in the affidavit,
noting Dixon’s hands were bandaged with white medical tape and the
victim was suffering from head, face, torso and arm injuries. She
was also missing two front teeth.
She was interviewed at Delaware County Memorial Hospital, where she
was admitted for treatment and described the horrific ordeal she
allegedly endured from Saturday to Monday inside the apartment.
"Dixon pulled her out of the bed by her ankles," knocking her
unconscious when her head hit the floor, Hanshaw wrote in the
document. "She remembers awakening at one point and Dixon was
throwing a lamp at her." He also allegedly broke every phone to
prevent her from calling for help.
Dixon, 6 feet 3 inches tall and 225 pounds, allegedly kicked the
woman numerous times, held his hands to her throat and pinned her
down on the floor.
"When police came to the door, Dixon ordered her to go into the
bathroom, run the water in the shower and not come out or say
anything," Hanshaw wrote. But the officers insisted she come out,
and Dixon was immediately taken into custody when they observed her
condition.
"She was beaten so badly she’s disfigured," Chitwood said of the
victim. "She is a very attractive woman and her face looks like a
Frankenstein mask. We only found her because the maintenance man
called about the bloody furniture in the Dumpster.
"He’s an animal, pure and simple."
Veteran Detective Lt. George Rhoades Jr. couldn’t recall a more
brutal domestic assault case.
"I can’t think of any person that looked as bad as she does and is
still alive," he said.

The View from Maine
Monday, November 28, 2005
There are two sides to every story, and this person has posted this
comment; another side to the Beatty Chadwick saga. (Interesting, too,
that this blog has reached Maine!)
Why didn't the Media, PA court take testimony from this witness re: the
truthfulness of Mrs. Chadwick, Judge Battle we can understand cause he's
2 yards under but before Beatty joins him why don't you Judge Clouse,
either take off the blindfold or put it back on and try the case===>
here's just the first of Mrs. Chadwick's bad-character witnesses, read &
weep for what you've done to an innocent man: Oh...we know all about
what Mr.Chadwick is going through. How we know? We live next door to his
ex-wife Barbara Chadwick. My husband and I have lived in the town of
Thomaston for twenty-four years and Barbara Chadwick/aka Applegate had
all kinds of suits against us (FALSE ALLIGATIONS) She and her new hubby
thought they could come into a small town and brag about their wealth,
dig for more money and rule us. Well, what they didn't know is that we
are a tight knit little town and she thinks she can fool us like she is
with the PA Judge. Our Lawyer saw right through her just as many in our
town. The Judge on Chadwick/Applegate vs. Chadwick is so wrapped tight
around Barbara's finger that it shows how weak the Judicial system can
be. People think Mainers are backwards and stupid...Oh Ms. Applegate now
knows she can't move our mountains. She sure plays quite a tune with
Pennsylvania that must be a real stupid place to live! If they can't see
through her negative ways and check on her legal history of taken people
to Court...Wow! POOR Mr. Chadwick is stuck in the spiders web! We hope
and pray for Mr. Chadwick's release. It is such a terrible thing to
think that any sane decent human being can think that she/he can have so
much power over someone to keep them squirming like a worm on a
hook...it must be a personal thing with the individuals who have
consumed such false power.

The Grave Threat Is the Bush Administration
By Paul Craig Roberts
11/28/05
Lew Rockwell --
According to news reports, at a US Naval Academy speech on
Wednesday, President Bush will announce plans for withdrawing US troops
from Iraq. It will be diverting to watch the propagandists at Fox "news"
flip-flop with the White House line and explain that now is the time to
cut and run after all.
A month ago the administration’s line was that cutting and running was
the dastardly act of cowards and traitors who would abandon our troops
and all they have fought for. A month ago senior US commanders in Iraq
said that the US-trained new Iraqi army only had 700 troops who could
operate independently of US support.
Now suddenly the new Iraq has the troops to do the job and America’s
soldiers can come home. What this means is that Republican pollsters
have made it clear that the Republicans cannot win next year’s
congressional elections if the US is still mired in Iraq. The war is
unpopular. A large majority of Americans do not believe the war was
justified, and they no longer support it. Republicans have no prospect
of rehabilitating Bush if he keeps the country bogged down in a
pointless war.
The war, in other words, no longer serves the Republicans’ political
interest and must be got rid of. So much for "staying the course."
What will happen to Iraq and the Middle East no one knows. Our concerns
need to be directed at what happens here in the US. Bush’s war against
Iraq might be over, but the police state Bush built at home is still in
place.
On November 27 Walter Pincus reported in the Washington Post that the
Pentagon is expanding its domestic surveillance activity and that all
sorts of proposals are afoot to allow military agencies to spy on
law-abiding Americans and to build secret dossiers on citizens. The
demand for police state powers is said to be necessary in order to fight
the "war on terror."
Considering the drastic gestapo-type activities for which Washington is
clamoring, a person would think that America is being overwhelmed by
terrorist attacks. Yet, despite an aggressive and brutal war that Bush
has been waging in Iraq for going on three years, terrorist attacks in
America are even more rare than an honest politician. There has not been
a terror attack since September 11, 2001, more than four years ago!
The Bush administration’s hype about terrorism serves no purpose other
than to build a police state that is far more dangerous to Americans
than terrorists.
Ever since the "war on terror" was initiated by the Bush administration,
the US has been holding large numbers of "detainees." By chance or the
laws of probability, a few of these people might fit some definition of
"terrorist." The vast majority, however, are innocents picked up in the
equivalent of Stalin-era KGB street sweeps. Many are hapless people sold
by warlords to the US in order to receive cash awards for turning in
"terrorists."
Despite the large number of alleged "terrorists" or "enemy combatants"
that are being held, the Bush administration simply hasn’t a shred of
evidence with which to bring "detainees" to trial. If truth be known,
the "detainees" are merely props for Bush’s hype about the "terrorist
threat." The "detainees" were arrested in order to make Americans feel
safe and at ease with the police state.
Perhaps the most famous of the alleged terrorists, a man held for more
than three years, is the "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla. Padilla was the
"grave threat" who was going to set off a radioactive dirty bomb in a US
city.
The charge never made any sense. If al Qaeda had a dirty bomb, they
certainly would not entrust it to the loud-mouthed Padilla, who was
being followed around by FBI agents. Such a weapon would be kept secret
and entrusted only to the most competent and proven hands. Who could
possibly believe that top al Qaeda operatives would meet and plot with
Jose Padilla?
The Bush administration has itself given up its Padilla fantasy. After
three years of hype about this most dangerous of terrorists who
allegedly intended to kill large numbers of Americans, the government’s
indictment doesn’t mention dirty bombs or the murder of Americans.
Instead, Padilla is indicted for conspiring "to commit at any place
outside the United States acts that would constitute murder" for the
purpose of advancing "violent jihad." Padilla is also charged with
"conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists."
In other words, the government has no case against Padilla and is
putting him on trial in the US for conspiring to kill unidentified
foreigners in an effort to overthrow an unidentified foreign country.
His case is lumped in with a case against four other persons, one or
more of whom may have committed an actual crime that can be used to tar
them all.
Both the Attorney General and President of the United States branded
Padilla a "grave threat" to the lives of Americans. After three years of
this propaganda, all the US government can come up with is the trumped
up charge of conspiracy to kill foreigners and to provide support for
terrorists.
A police state has to catch enemies in order to keep the people
frightened and appreciative of the watchful eye of the police state. Now
that the Padilla case has evaporated, the Bush administration has come
up with a replacement. An American student of Arab descent, who was
studying at a Saudi Arabian university, has been indicted by a federal
grand jury for conspiracy to assassinate President Bush. The indictment
rests on the confession wrung out of the young man by torture in a Saudi
prison.
Does anyone really believe that al Qaeda leaders would conspire with an
American college student to assassinate President Bush? Indeed,
President Bush has been Osama bin Laden’s greatest benefactor. Why would
al Qaeda want to kill the man who is doing them so much good? Before
Bush launched his war on terror and invaded Iraq, the vast majority of
Muslims thought bin Laden was a nut case and supported the US. Today
Muslims think Bush is a nut case and support bin Laden.
What kind of a country have we become when we put a citizen on trial on
the basis of a confession obtained under torture by a foreign
government? Is the case against this student anything other than an
attempt to enlist the sympathy factor for Bush in order to repair his
standing in the polls?
Americans need to understand that a police state has to produce results
in order to justify its budget and its powers. It doesn’t really care
who it catches. Stalin’s police state caught the wife of Stalin’s
foreign minister in one of its street sweeps.
The Bush administration justifies torture and threatens to veto
congressional attempts to restrain its use. The Bush administration
justifies indefinite detention of American citizens without charges. It
asserts the power of indefinite detention based on its subjective
judgment about who is a threat. An American government that preaches
"freedom and democracy" to the world claims the powers of tyrants as its
own.
Americans need to wake up. The only danger to Americans in Iraq is the
one Bush created by invading the country. The grave threat that
Americans face is the Bush administration’s police state mentality.
