Kanjorski salutes Andrea Menzel, teen forum winner U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski (D- Pa.) recently met with 13-year-old Andrea Menzel of Shavertown to congratulate her on being chosen as a district winner for the Re- specTeen National Youth Forum. The RespecTeen “Speak for Yourself Program” challenges seventh and eighth grade students nationwide to write letters to their U.S. Representatives expressing their views on national issues. RespecTeen is noted for encour- aging youngsters to examine is- sues that affect their lives, teach- ing them how to express their views on public policy and how to work toward change in their soci- ety. Andrea wrote a letter to Con- gressman Kanjorski explaining her concerns for the environment and expressing the need for Legis- lative Environmental Cleanup Days. “I think that each year we should set aside certain days of that year to clean up our commu- nities,” wrote Menzel. She would like to see Cleanup Centers opened all across the United States to oversee the work of volunteers, noting that the centers would supply more jobs for the econ- omy. “Andrea has shown through her letter, that our young people are concerned about major issues and are committed to improving the future. I commend her for her thoughtful analysis and excellent solution to a serious problem facing our country today,” said Kanjorski.

Kunkle Fire Co. kicks off fund drive to raise $30,000 The volunteer members of the Kunkle Fire Company are again mailing a letter to area residents and businesses seeking contri- butions. The fire company pro- vides protection to Kunkle, Beaumont, Evans Falls and sur- rounding areas. In the letter this year, they are urging homeowners and business owners to contribute based on their property values.

Almost all of the money needed to fund the fire company's operations, equipment purchases, protective clothing, and training comes from community, contributions and income from various fund raising events held throughout the year.
