Former Phillies All-Star center fielder Lenny Dykstra waived his preliminary hearing on two misdemeanor drug charges Tuesday before District Judge Randy Schmalzle, meaning the matter will now be addressed in a higher court. The charges stem from a New Year’s Eve traffic stop in Pike County in northeastern Pennsylvania, when Dykstra was the passenger in a GMC pickup driven by Scranton resident Kevin Zelna. State Trooper Kody Nowicki pulled the GMC over after Zelna failed to stay in his lane, according to testimony by Nowicki and a criminal complaint. Zelna, 37, was charged with several counts, including driving under the influence. When Dykstra told law enforcement that he wanted to retrieve his ID and credit card, “troopers observed, in plain view, a glass smoking device and a jar/container containing suspected narcotics.” Nowicki later testified that the narcotics tested positive for crack cocaine.

At 8 years old, @drtahirareidsmith drew the one thing she wished she owned: A double Dutch machine in never-ending motion.⁠ ⁠ For her school’s drawing competition, the then-third grader sketched two poles with three push buttons, and a girl jumping in the middle. Her drawing won first place in the competition, but decades later, she brought the invention she dreamed of as a child to life.⁠ ⁠ Nearly 40 years after submitting her class drawing, the mechanical engineer and Pennsylvania State University professor showcased a prototype of the world’s first automated double Dutch machine in Philadelphia on Saturday.⁠ ⁠ Reid Smith traveled from State College to bring the prototype of Jump Dreams (@jumpdreamsinc) to Awbury Park for Double Dutch Day, a community event led by @phillygirlsjump.⁠ ⁠ “It was important to be here,” Reid Smith said. “I love Philly Girls Jump’s mission, and what they are doing.”⁠ ⁠ Read more about the Reid Smith’s prototype at the link in @phillyinquirer’s bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝 and 📹 by @earlhopkins_ / Staff⁠ 📸 by Elizabeth Robertson / Staff Photographer

In May of 2024, Johnny Gaudreau reached out to his father, Guy. He’d recently wrapped up his 10th full NHL season, with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but had a bigger goal in mind.⁠ ⁠ For the first time since 2014, NHL players would be allowed to compete in the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics.⁠ ⁠ Gaudreau had already started conditioning, and wanted to do more. So, he went to his first coach.⁠ ⁠ “He said, ‘Dad when I come home, we really have to push it,’” Gaudreau’s sister, Katie, recalled to The Inquirer on Sunday. “‘I really want to make the Olympics.’”⁠ ⁠ But all of this excitement and hope came to an unceremonious halt on Aug. 29, 2024. Johnny and his brother, Matty, were at home in Oldsman Township, for Katie’s wedding the following day. They were hit by an alleged drunk driver while riding bicycles on County Route 551. They were severely wounded and both died at the scene.⁠ ⁠ Ever since they died, their family has been trying to honor their legacy. This week, they received a special opportunity to celebrate Johnny’s ultimate goal.⁠ ⁠ On Tuesday, a representative for USA Hockey asked the Gaudreau family if they’d want to attend the semifinal game against Slovakia on Friday. They were also invited to Sunday’s gold-medal game, if the Americans qualified.⁠ ⁠ Initially, Guy and Jane said no. It seemed bittersweet to attend an Olympic semifinal or final without their late son. But on Wednesday morning, Jane had a change of heart.⁠ ⁠ “My mom was like, ‘I really didn’t sleep,’” Katie said. “‘I think John would want us to go. I think we should go.’”⁠ ⁠ Get the full story at the link in @phillyinqsports' bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝 by @byalexcoffey / Staff⁠ 📸 by Petr David Josek and Carolyn Kaster / AP

This was a series that was decided by a handful of moments, argues Inquirer columnist David Murphy, all or any one of which could have easily broken in a different direction.⁠ ⁠ “The Phillies lost too many of those moments. Orion Kerkering’s was simply the last… The worst place to find yourself at the end of a season is inside the chalk outline.⁠ ⁠ That is where Kerkering was standing as he stared down at the grass. He wasn’t standing alone for long. J.T. Realmuto got there first. He put a gentle arm on his back and bent down toward him.⁠ ⁠ Nick Castellanos got there next. Once Kerkering lifted his head, he found coach Paco Figueroa waiting for him. Then came Rob Thomson, who waited by the dugout steps and then drew Kerkering in close.”⁠ ⁠ For @dmurph003’s full post-game column and analysis on the tough end to the Phillies’ season, click the link in @phillyinqsports’ bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝 by @dmurph003 / Staff⁠ 📸 by Yong Kim and @jomoreno007 / Staff

This is “How Hard Can It Be,” a new series where Inquirer staffers try out something for the first time and go to the pros to learn the skills. Here, sports reporter Ariel Simpson (@arrriielll) heads to Mickey Rosati’s Gym in South Philly to train with bare-knuckle fighter Johnny “Cannoli” Garbarino (@teamgarbarino). She learns just enough for her older brothers to “watch out!” 👊 Before Knucklemania V, the last time a major MMA promotion made its way to Philly was in 2019 for Fight Night at the Wells Fargo Center, headlined by Edson Barboza and Justin Gaethje. The card featured no hometown talent. Now, BKFC is making its return on Saturday, Feb. 7, with KnuckleMania VI after last year’s edition was such a success — setting a modern-day combat sports record with 17,762 people in attendance. And with its return brings plenty of local talent like Garbarino. Read more at the link in @phillyinqsports’ bio. 📝 by Ariel Simpson / Staff 📸 by @gabecoffey / Staff

“I was kind of just freaking out. Because he looked right at me, and then it like dawned on me that he was giving it to me. And then after he just threw it up, I started jumping up and down,” said Julianna Brogan about the puck she received from Porter Martone. The puck from Martone is the latest — and most significant —for Brogan, but it’s not her favorite. That title belongs to one from Sam Ersson, which is important for a different reason.

The Gritty Smoothie — a Philly oxymoron for the ages — is orange in color, of course, but is not orange-flavored (Gritty has no time for your logic).⁠ ⁠ The mango-pineapple-and-tart-cherry smoothie comes topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips (perhaps a nod to Gritty’s gaping eyes, which stare into the void and pierce the cold hearts of his enemies). It’s served in a new, disposable cup that features Gritty’s peepers and some tuffs of his orange fur.⁠ ⁠ Alas, there’s no touch-screen option to flavor boost the beverage with the blood of the Penguins’ mascot or the tears of Sidney Crosby.⁠ ⁠ The timing of the release of the Gritty Smoothie coinciding with the Flyers’ first playoff run in years is kismet. Both Wawa and Gritty have been teasing their collaboration since the end of March on social media, well before the Flyers made it into the playoffs.⁠ ⁠ The cross-promotion pairs two of Philly’s biggest cultural touchstones — a 62-year-old convenience store chain and an 8-year-old unhinged mascot. Philadelphia didn’t choose this life, it chose us.⁠ ⁠ So, are you ordering a Gritty Smoothie? ⁠ ⁠ Read more about the collaboration at the link in @phillyinqsports’ bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝 by @farfarraway0444 / Staff⁠ 📸 by Yong Kim / Staff Photographer; Courtesy of Wawa

As the 2020 NFL season kicked off, Terry Thompson picked up his phone and placed a wager with FanDuel Sportsbook on his favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. It was his first time gambling through an app, and he soon started placing microbets. He grew addicted to the effortless, rapid-fire action. Thompson would ultimately wager $18.5 million with FanDuel, earning him VIP status with the company. That meant exclusive perks, from champagne to Super Bowl tickets, which made him feel important and enticed him to continue gambling. By late November 2024, Thompson had incurred steep losses and resorted to desperate measures to fund his addiction. Then, one afternoon, he flicked open his phone and received a FanDuel reward that momentarily distracted him from his debts: a personalized video message from Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper.
