Well done, young Mr. Brodzinski

There's no shortage of "bad" news in the newspaper every day.

That's one of the reasons I'm particularly happy about today's front page.

We took the time to detail the efforts of Michael Brodzinski. He's a third baseman with the Folcroft team in the Delco Boys Baseball League. The Academy Park student also is a junior firefighter with both Sharon Hill and Darby Fire Co. No. 1.

Monday night he got a chance to put his CPR skills to use when he administered aid to an umpire who had suffered a heart attack.

Well done, young Mr. Brodzinski.

The truth is we had several stories that developed later in the day that could have bumped his story out of the lead spot for today's print edition.

But I wanted to keep Brodzinski as the lead. Young people are always making the paper when they do something wrong.

Unfortunately, they don't always get the same coverage when they do something right.

Michael Brodzinski is a good kid who did a very good thing. He deserved his moment on the front page.
