From the Producer Pod-
December 22 and December 23 Edition
Hi It's Jayne Ann Bugda from the Producer
Pod-here are some weekend highlights!
Our quote for the weekend: "What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope
for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings
rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace." Agnes M. Pahro
I wish you all a blessed and Merry Christmas.
A program reminder: Eyewitness Newsmakers will air
this Sunday, December 23. Joe Holden
will have as his guests Sue Henry of WILK Radio and Mike Sisak of the Citizens'
Voice. They will be discussing the
Shooting in Newtown Connecticut that claimed the lives of 20 students and six
teachers. Eyewitness Newsmakers will air Sunday,

On Monday, December 24- The Eyewitness News team and behind the scenes
team will once again read "The Night Before Christmas". This is a long time tradition for Eyewitness
News. It all began many years ago, with
our dear friend and former anchorman Keith Martin. We now keep the tradition alive! It is our Christmas Card to you our viewers.
Mark Hiller featured the story of
the students and staff at Riverside Elementary West who have been
working very hard to clean up the Lackawanna River. The River is now up for a
big award. We can help honor the work of the students and staff by casting a
vote for the river.
The River of the Year contest is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. You can cast your ballot for the Lackawanna River by logging onto http://pawatersheds.org/vote/.The on-line voting for river of the year ends January 18th.
