                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Donald Dye, 
English teacher at Belmond-Klemme Junior and Senior High School, on 
being named one of five finalists for a Top Teacher Search award 
sponsored by the ``Live with Regis and Kelly'' television show.
  Mr. Dye is an English teacher and has been teaching at Belmond-Klemme 
since 1973. He is a native of Oskaloosa, Iowa and briefly taught in New 
Providence, Iowa before arriving at Belmond-Klemme. Mr. Dye was 
nominated by Jim and Dianna Suntken of Belmond and Diane and Curt 
Stadtlander of Goodell, Iowa. They submitted a letter describing Mr. 
Dye's positive impact on the lives of the youth he teaches.
  Mr. Dye will be in New York City during the week of May 17th for the 
taping of the ``Live with Regis and Kelly'' television show. Each day 
of the week they will be featuring the top five finalists. This 
certainly is an exciting occasion to honor Mr. Dye for his hard work 
and dedication to opening the doors of opportunity to the students he 
reaches each day in the classroom.
  I am honored to represent Donald Dye in the United States Congress, 
and I wish him the best of luck in New York City during Live with Regis 
and Kelly's Top Teacher Week. I also wish Mr. Dye the very best as he 
continues to serve as a mentor and role model to
