    Hello there, Delaware.

    Hope your weekend is giving you all the right kind of summer vibes.

    The weather should be conducive to lots of outdoor fun today. We can expect a high of 88 degrees in the Wilmington area, with mostly sunny skies.

    After yesterday’s loss, the Phillles play the Guardians at 6:05 p.m. There's a former Blue Hen playing in the Summer Olympics. See who and how she got there.

    Speaking of the Phillies, the team traded two players with Orioles to land 2023 AL All-Star Austin Hays.

    And now more local news …

    These are the concerns Nemours had raised months before arrest of Brandywine school therapist

    Months before a Brandywine School District therapist was arrested on charges of raping a child, a parent and employees at Nemours Children's Hospital raised concerns to district officials about the man, according to interviews and documents obtained by Delaware Online/The News Journal.

    “The issues centered on John Arnold's qualifications – which were recently determined to have been fabricated – his treatment of a 6-year-old child in his program who was under Nemours’ care, his history of practicing psychology without a license and his behavior toward hospital staff,’’ writes Isabel Hughes. “The concerns were first raised in April and reiterated in early May.

    “The May allegations, documented in an email to Brandywine officials, included claims of ‘repeated impersonation’ of a licensed psychologist and ’misrepresentation’ of his training and credentials.’’ Delaware Online/The News Journal received confirmation this week that Arnold never received at least two educational degrees he purported to have, including a Ph.D.
