SHELLY SOLTIS
Former Wilkes Barre Councilman J. Shelly Soltis passed away the other day at the age of 84. One of the “Greatest Generation”, Soltis was a veteran of WWII and served in the Navy. Soltis was a constant in Wilkes Barre City politics in the late 70s and 80s. Known for his height as well as the ever present cowboy hat, Soltis cut quite a figure in the city. He was present at almost every Democratic party function and had a term on City Council having been elected in 1987. He served from ’88 to ’92. Our condolences to his family and friends.
WE’RE ON TWIITER
LuLac is finding its way on Twitter. We’re also on FaceBook. I’m pretty limited on Twitter (some will say that’s a good thing!) but once in a while when the spirit moves me, I’ll (and I never dreamed I’d say this,) tweet! Here’s the link:

NOTE: COUNTY COUNCIL CANDIDATES
I have some information on advertising on WYLN TV 35 that might be interesting to you. There are many who are going to take advantage of the programming and very competitive advertising rates. But if you have not been contacted or want some information, shoot me an e mail through my FaceBook account. My main objective in doing this is to make sure every candidate was reached, I don’t want people coming up to me after the election and say, “ya didn’t tell me”.

Dave, One of the things I really like about your site is the respect you give to politicos that served. Too many times their obits are unnoticed by the present generation of writers who can't take us back to the era in which they served. You do and I think it's great. One thing about Shelly, he was a great wing man at those Democratic fundraisers. Got a lot of dates because of his intros.
Shelly was a great guy. I bumped into him just a few months ago, and he was still as feisty as ever despite dealing with some health problems. Blessings to his family during this time of mourning.
