Shut-down Mobil station fumes rile Glenolden residents
The Mobil Corp station in Glenolden, closed for two years, faces multiple complaints about gasoline fumes. Magnus Construction Pollution Enterprises is removing an underground gas pocket under DER supervision, with about 2,000 gallons removed so far.

Mental health rights push gains momentum in Delaware
Families of the mentally retarded began this movement years ago and now mental patients in Delaware organize to fete grants. Consumers from across the nation met in Pottstown to set goals for a new group, the National Mental Health, with Dela County's consumers to be represented. The rising urgency follows recent tragedies involving the mentally ill, including the Springfield Mall shooting and the Archbishop Ryan High School hostage crisis. Project Share founder Joe Rogers notes the self-help push aims to reduce stigma and prove mental patients are not inherently violent. The county branch, formed about a year ago, leads a national movement toward self-help in mental health. The June Baltimore gathering began the national effort, with an 18-member steering committee setting the agenda. The primary goals are to erase stigma and build local self-help groups to address needs and survival through mutual support.
