                      Thursday, February 27, 2020

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Clay County Supervisor, Mr. Shelton Deanes, who is being inducted into 
the West Point Hall of Fame for his outstanding public service.
   Supervisor Deanes was born in West Point, Mississippi, in 1956. He 
and his wife, Mrs. Frances Deanes, are blessed with eight children, 
nine grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Supervisor Deanes has 
always set an example of faith for his family to follow. He has been a 
proud member of Palo Alto Missionary Baptist Church for over 54 years 
and has served his congregation as a Deacon.
   Supervisor Deanes was first elected as Clay County Supervisor in 
1991. During his 29-year career, he has been instrumental in developing 
multiple projects for Clay County. His initiatives included building 
the Judicial Court Building, adding more voting precincts to the 
county, developing the Una Community Center, adding the walking trail 
and Fun Day, and paving residential roads.
   Supervisor Deanes is a remarkable Mississippian who has set a 
shining example for others to follow. I thank him for his positive 
impact on his community, and I wish him many more years of good health.
