   IN RECOGNITION OF TYLER'S LIGHT FOR ITS CONTINUED DRUG AWARENESS 
                                EFFORTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE AUSTRIA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 16, 2012

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Tyler's Light. I 
am honored to recognize Tyler's Light for its continued drug awareness 
efforts throughout Pickerington and Fairfield County, Ohio.
  Tyler's Light was formed after the tragic and untimely passing of 
Tyler Campbell. Tyler was known for the way his blue eyes and 
infectious smile lit up a room. Tyler was very athletic and loved being 
outdoors where he would ride bikes, fish, and play various other 
sports. In just 23 years for life, Tyler managed to fulfill many of his 
lifelong dreams such as playing Division 1 High School Football at 
Pickerington North and college football at the University of Akron.
  Pickerington and all of Fairfield County need to be aware of the 
current drug epidemic and are in need of education about how drug 
addiction is breaking families apart. Thus, the objective of Tyler's 
Light is to educate students, families, and communities about the 
dangers and consequences of drug usage. Tyler's Light has been very 
effective and in just months has gained the attention of Fairfield 
County residents and others that are concerned about the increasing 
drug abuse issues facing our communities.
  Thus, with great pride, I recognize Tyler's Light for the positive 
impact it is making in the community and I would like to extend best 
wishes for the future.
