PHOTO INDEX: CHRISTMAS AT THE VATICAN AND IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TWO CENTERS OF POWER.

CHRISTMAS NEAR

As things calm down politically in deference to the Christmas season, two quick notes. Tuesday, Dec. 23rd we'll be on WYOU TV Interactive News at 6PM and 7PM talking about some issues involving state and local politics........and on Saturday, the first politician I voted for locally passed away. Sherman Sartin was 81 and served his community well. Sartin ran for the Pittston Area School Board in 1973 as a Republican and I voted for him because of the way he talked about public education. He never got the opportunity to serve because the GOP was steamrolled by the powerhouse Third District Democratic organization in that election. He never ran again for public office but served his community and church well in various endeavors like service clubs and other organizations. He will be missed.
