RECOGNIZING MARC GALLAWAY, WASHINGTON PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Washington (Mr. Newhouse) for 5 minutes.
Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Marc Gallaway
from Selah Middle School for being named the Association of Washington
School Principals Middle Level Principal of the Year.
A lifelong Washingtonian, Marc Gallaway earned his bachelor's degree
from Central Washington University and his master's degree from
Heritage University in Toppenish. He worked as both a special education
teacher and a baseball coach before he came to work at Selah Junior
High School in 2005.
Mr. Gallaway has served as principal at what is now Selah Middle
School for the past 14 years. Every day, Mr. Gallaway nurtures a
culture of positivity and teamwork among students and staff.
Mr. Speaker, I want to honor Mr. Gallaway for empowering students and
teachers to embrace the Viking Way and thank him for his positive
influence that he has had on students in central Washington.
This award is something that Mr. Gallaway, his students, and fellow
faculty and staff should be very proud of. I urge my colleagues to join
me in congratulating Marc Gallaway on this significant achievement.
Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, September is National Hispanic Heritage
Month, and I am proud to represent central Washington where Hispanic
heritage and culture tells the story of many of my constituents and our
communities.
I have witnessed firsthand how Hispanic Americans contribute to our
communities through entrepreneurship, military service, and cultural
diversity. I am proud to recognize my Hispanic American friends and
neighbors in Washington's Fourth Congressional District.
I am also proud to support national appreciation of Hispanic American
and Latino leadership and heritage as an original cosponsor of the
National Museum of the American Latino Act. I support the establishment
of a Smithsonian museum to recognize Latino contributions to American
history, life, art, and culture.
In the United States, our shared values bring us together, and we
cherish our Nation's diverse history. I urge my colleagues to join me
in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Recognizing Cathey Anderson for Energy Northwest's CEO Lifesaving Award
Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cathey Anderson
for the compassion she demonstrated aboard a flight from Nevada to
central Washington.
Cathey did not think twice before springing into action when she
noticed a man in his 70s who was traveling alone. He appeared confused
and then lost consciousness.
Cathey recognized the signs of a seizure, and she took the initiative
to help. She and two other nurses administered medical treatment until
the flight landed, and they were greeted by medical crews upon arrival
in Yakima.
Cathey is a registered nurse and the occupational health supervisor
at Energy Northwest. She was awarded the CEO Lifesaving Award for her
actions.
[[Page H8891]]
To Cathey's family and friends, her quick action was not a surprise,
because it wasn't the first time she comforted a stranger in distress.
I thank Cathey for her willingness to help others around her
everywhere she goes. Please join me in recognizing Cathey Anderson for
receiving this prestigious award.
