                          HONORING CLINT BOLTE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 29, 2006

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Clint Bolte of 
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, who has been named ``2006 Citizen of the 
Year'' by the Borough Council and the Waters Award Committee. This 
distinguished award is given annually, in memory of the late Donald 
``Mike'' Waters, to the person who most exemplifies the efforts and 
achievements in community service once performed by Waters throughout 
his lifetime.
  The ``Citizen of the Year'' award was presented to Clint, a local 
businessman and principal of C. Clint Bolte and Associates, by Mr. 
Waters' widow, Jenny, and son, Don. They remarked that Clint has 
``carried on Waters' tradition of community service,'' just as Clint 
and Mr. Waters did while co-chairing a community spring cleanup 
campaign together some years ago.
  While accepting the honor on September 18, 2006, Clint said that the 
award was ``very much a surprise,'' and that he was incredibly grateful 
for the recognition. Clint also remarked that the late ``Mike'' Waters 
was ``very much an individual of extraordinary faith who loved his 
family and was passionate about his community.''
  Clint Bolte, himself, has contributed endlessly to the betterment of 
the Chambersburg community, and Franklin County as a whole. Clint has 
worked through organizations such as the Chambersburg Club, the Rotary 
Foundation, the United Way, and the YMCA. To cite each individual 
accomplishment and contribution that Clint has been a part of would be 
nearly impossible. His involvement in the community over the years has 
been immeasurable. Jenny Waters may have put it best, speaking about 
Clint Bolte, saying that he has selflessly dedicated himself to the 
Chambersburg community ``just like `Mike' did.''
