  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Reverend Dan 
Sewell, who was named the 2012 Fairview Park Citizen of the Year by the 
Fairview Park Community Council.
  Rev. Sewell, a lifelong resident of Fairview Park, Ohio was born in 
1955. He graduated from Fairview Park High School in 1973 and earned a 
Master of Theology Degree from Fuller Seminary. He has been married to 
his wife, Karen, for 37 years and they have four daughters.
  In 1989, Rev. Sewell became the pastor of the New Hope Church. Under 
his leadership, the church has become a staple in the community, 
hosting hunger drives and other various community service 
opportunities. Rev. Sewell is also the longest-serving member of the 
Fairview Park Ministerial Association which supports the Fairview Park 
Hunger Center and National Day of Prayer gatherings.
  He has also been involved with Fairview Park's annual Summerfest, 
serving as a bake-off judge, talent judge, and musical performer. 
Additionally, Rev. Sewell was instrumental in developing Fairview 
Park's ``Everyone is Our Neighbor'' campaign as a response to crime in 
the community.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in congratulating Reverend 
Dan Sewell as he is honored by the Fairview Park Community Council as 
the 2012 Fairview Park Citizen of the Year.
