As 2012 draws to a close, Whaling City Watch is taking a look back at some of the more notable personalities and issues that made headlines in our city.
As “Education in New Bedford” was selected as the Top News Story of 2012, it is only logical that our Person of the Year be connected to our public schools. There is one individual that has consistently supported strengthening the New Bedford Public Schools, has been an articulate advocate for its teachers and students, and provided real leadership when our politicians/district administrators faltered. Whaling City Watch is proud to name Mr. Louis St. John, the President of the New Bedford Educators Association, as our 2012 Person of the Year.

congratulations, Lou! Well deserved.
Lou is my choice! However, the Standard Time feels that the disgrace from the south end middle school Darcy Fernandes is a better choice! Imagine, woman of the year! Notice, no one from the school department is quoted or mentioned in the article.
