With so many weekend events, find out how Philly police are meeting the security challenge
The Brief Philadelphia police discuss security preps ahead of big events in the city this weekend. The Roots Picnic Music Festival is on Saturday and Sunday and Philly Pride Month festivities kick off on Friday. The music festival and the Philadelphia Pride March attract large crowds annually. CENTER CITY - Security in Philadelphia is going to be high throughout the weekend due to all the events happening, with the Roots Picnic Music Festival and Philly Pride Month festivities and falling just days after a mass shooting in Fairmount Park. Heightened security This weekend, tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the Roots Picnic Music Festival and Philly Pride Month festivities, and Philadelphia police are planning a large security presence to match. In fact, Chief Inspector John Przepiorka, the Commanding Officer of the PPD Tactical Support Bureau, said in light of the mass shooting on Memorial Day there will be stepped-up deployment in the Philadelphia Park System. "That will consist of uniformed officers, as well as plain-clothes officers, riding through the parks, checking on the crowd capacity, what the size is – what's going on in the park – is it just kids at play or is there anything nefarious in the works – that kind of thing," said Chief Inspector Przepiorka. "We're going to keep a better eye on the parks throughout the area and again to make sure that people that can go there, can enjoy the park and have a great time, but also to prevent anything from occurring in the future." Planning Przepiorka said security planning for events starts weeks in advance, and sometimes months and even years, depending on the nature of the event. The department goes over deployment strategies for officers, state and federal partners and special operations units. "Sweeps in the morning with our K9 unit looking for anything that may be suspicious. We will then also have our uniformed officers present at the venue site itself, which could also incorporate officers on bicycles to have more roaming capabilities of being in the area, being visible and present," said Przepiorka. Big picture view In addition to deployment strategies, police also collaborate with partners at the Intelligence Bureau on the local, state and federal level to look for any information to help police identify an issue before it happens. "Easy for things to get raucous and out of control, but I think we do a great job of striking that balance to make people feel safe and still able to have as much fun as possible," said Aaron Corpora of South Philly. "I've been to some Pride events and Roots last year as well, and my girlfriend will be here this weekend. She's looking forward to it. She loves the Roots event, so she'll be out there this weekend without a doubt."

Did Brad Marchand really have a Dairy Queen Blizzard between periods of Game 3?
"It's the best dessert in the world" 😋 Brad Marchand joins — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) It sparked a creamy, delicious controversy, one that Marchand put to rest on Monday. 'It was honey. I was having honey,' Marchand said after Florida's morning skate. 'It was a spoonful of honey.' Advertisement Sorry, DQ. The claim that the snack was a Blizzard was frozen fib. But Marchand's love of Blizzards apparently is real. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'The amount of messages I got about people going to Dairy Queen yesterday, I appreciate the support,' Marchand said. 'I love a good Blizzard, more than anybody. But it's not something I've had in the middle of a game — yet. Yet. Yet.' The Panthers suspected that Marchand was using a bit of succulent sarcasm. 'I know he said it,' coach Paul Maurice said. 'I'm just not sure that makes it a fact.' The sugary story started to hit the spot soon after the game, and there was a good reason. The Panthers had gotten some notoriety for visiting a Dairy Queen last week on an off day in North Carolina — one was near the hotel where Florida was staying for Games 1 and 2 against the Hurricanes, and a fan's social media posts about seeing the Panthers having some sweet treats went viral. Advertisement It was logical for Bukauskas to ask if Marchand was still getting his dessert fix in Game 3. 'No chance you were fueling with a Blizzard there, were you?' Bukauskas asked during the Saturday night exchange. 'Yeah, that's a little chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard right there,' Marchand replied. Now, there is a Dairy Queen about 2.4 miles away from the Panthers' home arena — and it was still open when the game was in its second intermission Saturday. So, is it possible that ice cream could have been sent to the arena? Yes. But did it happen? No. The Panthers, like all teams, have a slew of high-protein or energy-giving snacks available for refueling between periods. And Marchand has always had an affinity for honey. 'I've always loved honey,' Marchand said. 'Actually, when I was growing up, I loved Winnie the Pooh. I used to have Winnie the Pooh, but I would feed him — the bear — honey, so it was covered and rock hard.' His parents didn't love that aspect of his childhood in Nova Scotia. 'I don't think they enjoyed cleaning up a mess, but yeah, I had fun,' Marchand said. 'That's what we do in Halifax. We feed teddy bears honey.' There were hints on Sunday that the Blizzard story was melting. Maurice didn't debunk the story — but cast some doubt on it. 'There are cameras everywhere, man. We can't get away with anything anymore,' Maurice said. 'But that would be a good story.' Advertisement As it turns out, Marchand may have had a bit of a motive for telling Bukauskas that it was a Blizzard. The TV-savvy Marchand looked directly into the camera afterward — and hinted he might want to add a DQ sponsorship to his endorsement portfolio. 'You can't beat it. It's the best dessert in the world,' Marchand said. 'So, I better get a lifetime free supply of Dairy Queen now. Thank you, fellas.' It should be noted that what Marchand ate between periods worked. He scored a goal in the third period, a few minutes after the snack — part of a five-goal, um, blizzard by the Panthers that sealed Saturday's win.

Did Brad Marchand really have a Blizzard between periods of Game 3?
Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Marchand is setting the record straight: The Florida Panthers forward was enjoying a spoonful of honey — not ice cream — between periods of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. And with that, the investigation into Blizzardgate is now closed. Marchand went viral on Saturday after telling Sportsnet reporter Kyle Bukauskas that he was having a Blizzard from Dairy Queen between the second and third periods of Florida's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. There was video of Marchand using a spoon to eat something during that intermission, which prompted the question. It sparked a creamy, delicious controversy, one that Marchand put to rest on Monday. 'It was honey. I was having honey," Marchand said after Florida's morning skate. "It was a spoonful of honey.' Sorry, DQ. The claim that the snack was a Blizzard was frozen fib.
