A student from the Frewsburg area who is part of the Civil Air Patrol's Jamestown Composite Squadron has received a prestigious award. Amelia Matteson-Garza, who is a senior at Frewsburg High School, was presented the General Ira C. Eaker Award. It's the second-highest achievement in the CAP Cadet Program, with just 1-2% of cadets earning it. The award recognizes exceptional dedication, leadership, discipline and perseverance. It's not the only honor Matteson-Garza has received; she was previously named the Jamestown Composite Squadron's 2025 Cadet of the Year. State Senator George Borrello and Assemblyman Andrew Molitor were on hand to recognize her achievement.
