  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Morgan County Commissioner Cindy Erker for her fine 
achievements and hard work on behalf of the people of Morgan County, 
Colorado. Ms. Erker was named the 1998 County Commissioner of the Year 
by Colorado Counties, Inc. This prestigious award belongs to Ms. Erker 
due to her exceptional ability to serve, even in times of adversity. 
Her peers selected Cindy for the award at the Colorado Counties winter 
conference. This is the second time she has been recognized for her 
dedication and hard work. Responsible for pulling the community 
together to adopt an important drainage plan to avoid disastrous 
flooding in Ft. Morgan, Cindy was named the Freshman County 
Commissioner of the Year in 1991 by Colorado Counties, Inc. Mr. 
Speaker, I commend Cindy Erker for her perseverance, determination and 
leadership.
