                       Wednesday, October 5, 2011

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Ohio's Seventh 
Congressional District, I rise today to recognize Ms. Macy Reynolds for 
her induction into the Greene County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Ms. Macy Reynolds along with five other candidates was from a pool of 
many worthy women to receive this honor, and thus, she was nominated 
for her great endeavors in the field of Horticulture.
  Ms. Reynolds, a teacher by profession, taught in Mad River Schools 
and as an adjunct at the University of Dayton. Becoming a Master 
Gardner in 1998, she has taught many educational programs and 
volunteered in many public gardens all over Greene County. An Ohio 
certified insect, weed and tree specialist, Macy has removed invasive 
species from various locations around Greene County while also working 
hard to restore prairies by harvesting and planting seeds in their 
natural areas. Macy also put together an educational program for the 
Miami Valley Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in Xenia. The resident 
youth attend gardening classes, plant and care for the garden. The 
produce from these gardens are then donated to the local Fish Food 
Pantry. She is also a founding member of the Midwest Native Plant 
Society and has worked to maintain the Women's Park in Yellow Springs 
where she also serves as secretary of the Tree Committee. Ms. Macy also 
was Greene County's first representative to the Heritage Garden 
Ambassador Program.
  Thus, with great pride, I congratulate Ms. Macy Reynolds for her 
exemplary service to Greene County and extend best wishes for the 
future.
