                    TRIBUTE TO CESARINA AUGUSTO EARL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BILL PASCRELL, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I would like to call to your attention 
the deeds of an outstanding individual, Mrs. Cesarina Augusto Earl, who 
will be recognized on October 23, 2010 by the Columbian Foundation for 
her contributions to the Italian-American community.
  Cesarina, an Italian-American herself, grew up in my hometown of 
Paterson, New Jersey helping her parents operate the print shop on Mill 
Street which they owned. She continued on this literary path, studying 
Library and Information Science at Caldwell College and Rutgers 
University after receiving a history degree from Seton Hall University.
  After completing her education, Cesarina served as both a 
professional and a school librarian and worked as an Education Media 
Specialist in various public schools in New Jersey, New York, and 
California. She retired in 2004 from the rewarding work of helping 
students and adults find their needs in libraries.
  One of the various publications that Cesarina's family printed was 
their own weekly publication, La Voce Italiana or the Italian Voice. It 
has been in print for 79 years and highlights the positive 
accomplishments of Italian-Americans. Cesarina has worked tirelessly 
with her son Douglas as the publisher and editor for 25 years of La 
Voce Italiana.
  In addition to promoting issues which affect Italian-Americans, 
Cesarina has also been an advocate for women's issues worldwide through 
her involvement in Zonta International.
  In addition to her impressive professional accomplishments, Cesarina 
is a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. She has two adult 
children and two grandsons.
  Cesarina has proven herself to be a leader in the Italian-American 
community as well as a dedicated employee of the public school system, 
and I know she will continue this important work in the future.
  The job of a United States Congressman involves much that is 
rewarding, yet nothing compares to working with and recognizing the 
efforts of dedicated servants of the community like Cesarina Augusto 
Earl.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues, the residents of 
Essex County, the Columbian Foundation, Cesarinas's family and friends, 
and me in recognizing Cesarina Augusto Earl's outstanding service to 
her community.
