                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 28, 2007

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the great 
efforts of one of my constituents, Mr. William Stearns. Mr. Stearns has 
gone to great lengths to promote a stronger sense of community in 
Greene County, Indiana, and his hard work provides us all a valuable 
resource. Mr. Stearns created and maintains the website 
gogreenecounty.com, which provides wonderful local information on a 
variety of topics. The website's forum provides a convenient place for 
local Hoosiers to discuss a variety of issues, and the community links 
expand the resources that community members can access from this one, 
convenient website.
  As great a service as this website is to the people of Greene County, 
Mr. Stearns' work is all the more remarkable because he performs this 
great service despite being legally blind. When one considers the 
visual difficulties Mr. Stearns overcomes every day, the fact that he 
produces a valuable website for our community is especially noteworthy. 
I commend William Stearns for his tremendous service to Greene County, 
Indiana.
