         A TRIBUTE TO JULIANNE M. DIULUS, BEREA MUNICIPAL COURT

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. STEPHANIE TUBBS JONES

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 9, 1999

  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, for 21 years, Julianne M. Diulus has 
worked at the Berea Municipal court, whose Judge, William C. Todia 
nominated her for this reward. She works as Judge Todia's secretary and 
also assists the Court's Probation Officer, Josette Lebron. Her duties 
include typing correspondence, journal entries and court documents, 
compiling files for each probationer prior to sentencing and all other 
secretarial duties for these officers.
  Coming from a family of caretakers, Julie believes that it is 
essential to help others and to do the best at whatever she attempts. 
She has tried to instill these same values in her children and is proud 
to have watched her three children, Nicole, Mary and Lewis, grow into 
adults and achieve their goals.
  A resident of Brook Park, Julie is active at St. Nicholas Byzantine 
Catholic Church, attends Cuyahoga Community College and loves to read 
and collect books, fiction, non-fiction and biographies.
  She has no human enemies at the Court, but Julie fights constantly 
with the copier and other machines. As part of her care-taking, she 
tries to maintain order in the office, but she notes that once, when 
Ms. Lebron was on vacation, she cleaned and straightened the Probation 
Officer's desk, only to be told that the effort was appreciated, but 
that Ms. Lebron could not find anything for days.
