“Hoagiefest is here again,” even if the familiar Wawa jingles and hippie themes of years' past aren’t back.

Wawa is releasing its new “reinvented” Hoagiefest campaign on Monday.

“In the summer, hoagies reign supreme at Wawa,” Wawa chief brand officer Jim Morey said. “Since we crafted our first hoagie decades ago, Wawa hoagies have been enjoyed anywhere and everywhere. That’s what this new look is all about.”

Gone are the 1960s-inspired, psychedelic, Yellow Submarine-ish themes and graphics (so long Wawa Hoagie Balloon). So, what’s the new ad campaign all about?

“Our all-new Hoagiefest campaign celebrates the role hoagies play in summertime fun and the state of mind they represent,” Morey said.

The ads feature people having fun in the sun from weddings to baseball parks to beaches (maybe that idea is old) and contemporary music.

A lifeguard with binoculars is the first clue of the new look that has popped up but you will also be part of the new ad campaign.

“Wawa stores will have all-new original decorations and selfie stations to help create the unique Hoagiefest state of mind and generate excitement through the summer,” the company said in a news release.

“We’re thrilled to kick-off an all-new Hoagiefest this year to celebrate hoagies and our associates who create them, all while bringing customers their favorite Wawa food at great value prices,” Morey said.

During Hoagiefest (June 18 to Aug. 5), all area Wawa stores will offer $3 Junior, $4 Shorti and $5 Classic hoagies.

Father's Day will bring warm temperatures and sunshine to our region, but after that our region will be under some dangerous heat. NBC10 meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz explains when those temperatures will hit.

Health officials on Thursday added 10 more states to the list of retail locations that may have received cut melons possibly contaminated with salmonella, bringing the total number of states to 23.

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Caito Foods LLC recalled pre-cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe and fruit medleys containing at least one of those melons that were produced at its facility in Indianapolis.

The full list of states now includes: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The CDC said the fruit was distributed and sold in clear plastic clamshell containers at Costco, Jay C, Kroger, Payless, Owen's, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Walgreens, Walmart and Whole Foods/Amazon.

The FDA has posted a full list of retailers and locations where it believes the contaminated melon was sold.

Consumers who have purchased cut melon from these locations should throw it away. In addition, the agency has advised retailers not to serve or sell precut melon products distributed by Caito Foods Distribution, Gordon Food Service or SpartanNash Distribution.

According to the CDC, at least 60 people became ill between April 30 and May 28 in five Midwestern states, where the outbreak was initially reported. 

Although the FDA has expanded the list of states warned about consumption of melon, the CDC has not updated the number of illnesses reported.

The CDC says 31 of the people sickened have been hospitalized, but there have been no deaths reported.

Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain that begins 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated food. Most people recover in four to seven days.

According to the CDC, salmonella is to blame for 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths every year in the United States.

A decommissioned ferry has left for a journey to the bottom of the Atlantic.

The M/V Twin Capes became the newest addition to Delaware’s artificial reef system Friday when the ship sank into the Del-Jersey-Land Inshore Artificial Reef.

Christened in 1975, The Twin Capes served as one of three original vessels of the Delaware River and Bay Authority’s 1970s fleet. It carried out thousands for trips between its namesake cities, Cape May and Cape Henlopen, before it retired in 2013.

In 2017, Norfolk, Virginia-based marine contractor, Collen Marine bought the ship. The same company prepared the ship before it sank, removing any material that could hurt sea life and adding holes to help it sink.

The ship joins a submerged fleet that includes Iwo Jima survivor Zuni/Tamaroa and the ex-destroyer USS Arthur W. Radford.

Since 1996, Delaware has created 14 artificial reef sites along the Atlantic coast and in the Delaware Bay. The program has sunk everything from tug boats to New York City subway cars in order increase the development of invertebrate communities in the Mid-Atlantic.

The submerged ships provide a unique opportunity for deep-sea divers, who can view the sunken ships and the marine life that develops on their remains.

This ship is likely to attract tunas, sharks, and even barracudas to the area, thanks to its shark-fin smokestacks, four decks, and multiple lounges, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said.

A Montgomery County youth sports volunteer arrested in May for allegedly engaging in sexually explicit social media conversations with a 12-year-old boy was charged with additional charges June 12.

Kevin Barron, 21, of Horsham faces 21 counts of sexual abuse of children, corruption of minors, institutional sexual assault and other charges. He has worked as a youth camp counselor in Hatboro and Horsham for the last couple years, according to a new complaint filed this week.

The initial alleged incident came to light after the 12-year-old boy's mother contacted Hatboro police Jan. 29 about someone having sexually explicit conversations with her son via Snapchat and Instagram.

Prosecutors allege that Barron reached out to the boy following a Dec. 17 basketball game, their conversations became sexual and he requested and received a sexually explicit photo.

Prosecutors said Barron has been attending college in North Carolina, majoring in elementary education. He also is reportedly an elementary school student teacher. 

Barron now faces seven additional charges for allegedly assaulting or sending sexually explicit messages to more other young boys in the last couple years.

Barron's attorney, Matthew Quigg, said the young man has dedicated many hours and lots of effort in recent years volunteering in his community and raising $150,000 for a sports field in Horsham.

"That is the disconnect between the allegations against him and the young man the community has come to know," Quigg wrote in an email. "He is thankful for the support of his friends and family and looks forward to addressing these charges."

Barron was arraigned on $5,000 bail, which he posted following a June 12 preliminary hearing. 

The Firefly music festival is kicking off Friday night in Delaware, marking the official start of summer for some music lovers.

After millions watched viral video of a violent arrest on a Wildwood beach, police have released new footage showing what happened after that arrest.

One local speed skater, only 14-years-old is setting new records. But that teenager couldn't do it without the help of his community.

As the weather gets warmer and the sun stays out longer, plenty of bike riders will hit the roads and promenade in Sea Isle City. But now, a new push is underway to keep bikers and pedestrians safe.

Well, that stinks.

As if the structural damage caused by a rare Pennsylvania tornado wasn’t enough, a Wilkes-Barre business is still in search for a missing porta potty.

The destructive storm struck the northeast Pennsylvania town June 13, ripping off roofs, blowing down power lines and crushing cars. Most of the larger items that disappeared in the intense winds have been located nearby — with the exception of a porta potty.

"I was just talking to the people down at the Flower Tent, they had a porta potty. We have no clue where it’s at," Police Chief Ron Smith told reporters.

The Flower Tent, a local florist shop, is one of many businesses in the area affected by the storm.

Officials are not certain if the mobile restroom is nearby.

"It could be up on the mountain," Smith added. A sign for a Dick's Sporting Goods in the same mall was found miles away in Bear Creek, Pennsylvania.

As of Friday, it remained unclear where the porta potty landed.

He flew fighter jets in World War II, and now he's tackling a battle with kidney disease head-on.

Charles Everett, a 98 year old New Jersey father of two has become an inspiration to his daughter by maintaining his independence. He even administers his own dialysis treatments.

Everett was diagnosed with kidney disease and began dialysis three years ago. Initially, he received treatment for the disease the same way that most people do — at a clinic, three times a week for up to three hours per session.

As an active spirit, Everett was soon craving more independence and flexibility. He began working with Fresenius Kidney Care in Runnemede in order to find a way to both manage the disease and live the life he craved. Last September, he began administering his own treatments by hooking himself up to a dialysis machine that cleanses his blood of toxins while he sleeps.

“I’m quite satisfied I can do it and it fits my lifestyle here well,” said Everett.

Everett’s daughter, Beth Everett, agrees that administering his own treatment is the right choice for her Dad.

“Dad’s independence is very important to him and I try to be respectful of that,” Beth Everett said.

Everett developed his can-do attitude during his time serving as a fighter pilot in World War II. During the war, his plane was shot down in Germany. He was held as a prisoner of war and forced to march for an entire week.

“They had no place to put us,” Everett said. “It was the end of the war.”

Everett has passed down this attitude to his children.

“One of the phrases Dad always used to tell me is if you’re going to do a job, then you’re going to do the best job possible,” said Beth Everett.

Everett started a family after he came home. He and his wife had two children, a daughter and a son. His son moved to Tennessee, and his daughter has remained in the area. He says she is his best friend.

“She means everything to me. I completely depend on her.”

Beth echoed her father’s sentiments.

“It’s just a bond that unbreakable,” she said.
