  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before you today to 
recognize Ms. Clare Janty of Cumberland, Wisconsin for her 
unprecedented dedication in serving our community.
  Ms. Janty is the recipient of the Wisconsin 7th Congressional 
District's 2016 ``Paul Bunyan Service Above Self Award,'' which 
recognizes a constituent who goes above and beyond when serving their 
community.
  Ms. Janty has served as a Physician Assistant for over 35 years in 
Barron County, and continues to give back to her community through her 
work in healthcare and wellness.
  In 2004 she was a founding board member of Pink Ribbon Advocacy 
Inc.--a non-profit focused on supporting uninsured expenses related to 
breast gynecological cancers--and has served as their medical advisor 
since. Ms. Janty is also the president of the board of the Rice Lake 
Area Free Clinic, and routinely provides patient services.
  Ms. Janty has offered her skills by successfully co-authoring several 
grant applications that have helped provide the needed funds for 
poverty and health care organizations in Barron County. In addition, 
she has worked with local law enforcement to create a Children's Safety 
Fair. She has been a member of the Healthier Cumberland Project--a non-
profit organization focused on community health--since 2007. Ms. Janty 
also regularly visits local schools to provide youth with personal 
health and safety information.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in recognizing and thanking Ms. 
Janty for her exceptional service to her community.
