                      TRIBUTE TO MACLAIN BERHAUPT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2008

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Maclain Berhaupt 
for her years of service to Dunkirk, NY and her new opportunity in her 
hometown of Jamestown, NY. Maclain's career is a wonderful example of 
what public service should be.
  I would like to touch briefly on the many projects with which Maclain 
has been involved. Maclain has been employed as the Director of 
Development for the City of Dunkirk for the past three years. During 
that time she saw the Boardwalk Market, the Crocker-Sprague building 
redevelopment, and the soon-to-be-built SUNY Technology Incubator 
projects come to fruition. Mayor Richard Frey of Dunkirk has said that 
when Maclain was hired, she was not just an employee, she was an 
investment. This investment in the city's future certainly paid off, 
and Dunkirk is a better place today because of the dedication shown by 
Maclain.
  Friday June 27, 2008 will be Maclain's last official day as the 
Director of Development in Dunkirk. She will then take her new post as 
the Urban Design Planning Coordinator for the Jamestown Renaissance 
Corporation.
  As she returns to her hometown one thing is for sure. Maclain's 
future is bright and full of opportunity. I applaud her for her service 
and dedication to the Western New York community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating Maclain on her 
job well done as the Dunkirk Director of Development and sending best 
wishes on her new career as the Urban Design Planning Coordinator for 
the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Maclain on her new 
opportunity in her hometown of Jamestown, NY and wish her and her 
family the best. Maclain's work should inspire us all to serve our 
communities and fellow man with dedicated hearts and committed lives.
