2.5 percent, what Gov. Ed Rendell and state Democrats want to cut from the state’s electricity usage.

188 graduates from Archbishop Prendergast High School who received their diplomas yesterday.
311 grads in their caps and gowns last night for Penncrest High School.

Enough already about the J-Roll affair. He was wrong. Charlie Manuel did the right thing by benching him after he failed to go hard on the bases after a popup. Let’s move on. This team is as hot as the weather. No need to throw cold water on things.

I Don’t Get It: I wasn’t buying Herbert Ackley’s explanation at his wife’s trial that he had no idea where the money was coming from that he and the Mrs. were spending at a pretty steep clip at various casinos. Neither, apparently, did the police, who have now charged him in the case. What did he think, she was printing it out in the garage?
*
Today’s Upper: I may be in the minority here, but I say bring on the heat and humidity. I love summer. Give me this over winter any time.

Quote Box: “The money he and his wife gambled far exceeded what they made.”
-- Ridley Police Detective Sgt. Scott Willoughby, on case in which Herbert Ackley now has been charged in connection with his wife’s thievery from the Ridley School District, where they both worked.
