Honoring Pathways PA
I had the good fortune to represent the Daily Times last night as the newspaper was honored by Pathways PA with one of their Trailblazer Awards.
It was us, and in fact all of Delaware County, who should be honoring them.
For 33 years, Pathways, based in the Holmes section of Ridley Township, has offered crucial services to needy women, children and families.
They provide the glue that very often holds shattered families together.
In accepting the Trailblazer Award last night on behalf of the employees of the Daily Times, I told the audience that I am often asked why there is so much “bad news” in the newspaper and on the website every day.
The truth is those are the stories that people read.
They also have a tendency to offer a skewed image of our communities.
That is why it is our responsibility to seek out stories about people and organizations doing “good” things.
I can think of no organization in the county more deserving of that kind of coverage than Pathways.
My thanks to Pathways President Carol Goertzel for this honor.
It is our pleasure to showcase the works of Pathways.
For 33 years, they have helped thousands of women and children in danger of slipping through the cracks.
We salute them for their efforts, and promise lots more stories to come.
