                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication arid contributions to the community of 
Riverside, California are exceptional. Riverside has been fortunate to 
have dynamic and dedicated community leaders who willingly and 
unselfishly give their time and talent and make their communities a 
better place to live and work. Chuck Beaty is one of these individuals.
  Chuck Beaty's career has been dedicated to education and community 
service. In 1961, Chuck received his B.S. in Education from the 
University of Kansas. While he was working towards his Master's in 
History and Political Science, at the University of Missouri, he taught 
American History and Literature at a local junior high school. After 
receiving his M.A. in 1965, Chuck became a high school social studies 
department chairman and teacher for 3 years.
  In 1984, Chuck became Riverside's Assistant Superintendent of 
Educational Services and was responsible for several department 
managers. He was promoted to Deputy Superintendent 2 years later and 
was the District representative to Riverside's Task Force 2000. During 
this time he also served as the Acting Superintendent and was 
responsible for the administration of a 31,000 person ADA school 
district.
  After serving in the educational field for 32 years, Chuck was 
elected to represent Ward I of the City of Riverside. He retires after 
a decade of leadership and service to the community of Riverside. He is 
also a member of the American Historical Society, the Association of 
California School Administrators, the Riverside Association of School 
Managers, and the Social Studies Supervisors Association. One of his 
true passions in Riverside has been for the Evergreen Cemetery.
  In 1998, a former Riverside City employee broke into the Riverside 
City Council Chamber during a meeting and seriously injured several 
people including Chuck. Despite this incident, Chuck persevered and 
continued public service. His courage and devotion demand our deepest 
respect and gratitude.
  Chuck's tireless passion for education and community service has 
contributed immensely to the betterment of the community of Riverside, 
California. Chuck has been the heart and soul of many educational 
institutions and I am proud to call him a fellow community member, 
American and friend. I know that many community members are grateful 
for his service and salute him as he retires.
