Joe Zelnick was just a little bit before my time at the Daily Times. Actually, I suppose I should say Chester Times, our proud predecessor and where Zelnick wielded a powerful pen for years.
I owe you one, Joe.
Last night I had the good fortune of representing the Daily Times at the 2011 EMS Week Dinner and Celebration at Crozer Chester Medical Center.
The theme of the evening was 1970s: The Decade of Change. The Daily Times was given a special certificate of merit for a series of editorials penned by Zelnick advocating for change and improvements in emergency medical services in Delaware County.
I can think of no higher honor for a community newspaper than effecting meaningful change.
The program at Crozer is now a national model and wins acclaim across the globe. People from all over the United States travel there to learn how they got it right.
My thanks to Fran Hildwine, who just happens to be a former member of one of our Community Advisory Boards, for the invitation and the honor.
The press and emergency services personnel don’t always see eye to eye. Our jobs often clash, especially in the most tense circumstances imaginable.
It was a pleasure to hear from so many experts in the field of EMS services in the county, people like Ben Mitchell and Frank Poliafico who really form the backbone of such service here, that they valued what the newspaper did. And does.
That is the highest compliment we can receive.
