The Fords lost in the opening round of the Districts.
The Haverford Girls Softball team lost to Avon Grove 5 to 4 at Monday’s District One Class AAAA opening-round game. The loss for the Central League co-champion Fords may be disappointing, but the Delco Times writes: Haverford will probably have its chances to see Avon Grove down the road, though. The Red Devils will continue their season and the Fords won’t, but Haverford’s got a good, young nucleus to work with that will help it not only contend for future Central League championships, but an even bigger prize, like perhaps a District One title and more.
The transportation company has proposed minor changes to its price increases.
While SEPTA is still moving forward with its strategy to increase fairs and utilize smart cards for passengers, the regional transportation company might not be increasing the cost of its rides quite as much as it once planned. According to a report in Philly.com, SEPTA is considering scaling back its raised wages, though not in a major way. A board committee will vote on the slight scale back on Thursday. Here is what’s being proposed: According to the report, the change is “designed to avoid a large price increase for airport workers.” Will changes to the rates make you more or less likely to ride SEPTA?

New street lamps are giving a nod to traditional design in Havertown. New lighting is being installed on Eagle Road between Darby and Darby and extending to the Oakmont parking lot. Shown in the photo, black lamp posts, like the one in the foreground, will replace the overhanging lights, seen in the background. Funding for the project comes from the township's general fund. "We're trying to help beautify the township," township manager Larry Gentile said. The commerical block of Brookline Boulevard is getting the same new lights as well as new sidewalks and curbs.
