                       Wednesday, October 8, 1997

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I commend the following to my colleagues.
  Kathy Wallace, of Bellaire, OH, has been named the Ohio Valley 
Medical Center's 1997 Ree Cook-Reiter Women's Center Woman of the Year. 
Kathy is the first recipient of the award which honors women who are 
devoted to helping their communities.
  Kathy is special to many people in the Ohio Valley whose lives she 
has touched through her caring and giving attitude. Some of those 
people are residents of the Country Club Retirement Center in Bellaire 
where she gives weekly manicures. She always has a warm smile and 
friendly conversation for them. Kathy also donates sweet treats to 
nursing home residents from the Dairy Queen she owns in Martins Ferry, 
OH.
  Kathy has taught Bellaire and Belmont County about the importance of 
volunteering and dedication to one's community. She leads by example. 
Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking Kathy Wallace 
for her service to Belmont County, and to congratulate her as she is 
honored as the first recipient of the 1997 Ree Cook-Reiter Women's 
Center Woman of the Year. I wish Kathy Wallace continued success, 
health and prosperity.
