Again, there are a few naysayers in Wilkes-Barre Township about our volunteer fire department.Let me assure you, with the confidence of the auditor general, Gene DePasquale, giving the department $252,000 after a long, five-year hiatus &#8211; because of John P. Yuknavich admitting to stealing $45,000 and serving federal prison time &#8211; it has been a tough transition.But with the help of Mayor Carl Kuren, council, business administrator Mike Revitt and solicitor Bruce Phillips, the Wilkes-Barre Township Volunteer Fire Department is back on line. So the residents know who the naysayers are, but pay no attention to them. Wilkes-Barre Township is moving forward and always will.Remember this: Review Mayor Kuren&#8217;s record. It has been exceptional and beneficial to all the residents.Also, don&#8217;t forget our best of the best, the members of the Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department, who are there when we need then. They do not get enough credit for that important job they do.Joseph NaperkowskiWilkes-Barre Township
