                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 13, 2001

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I commend the following article to my 
colleagues:

       Whereas, Dick Quinlin has spent his life serving the people 
     of Belmont County; and
       Whereas, He began his career with the Emergency Management 
     Agency in 1985 as EMA Coordinator, and was named full time 
     coordinator in 1994; and,
       Whereas, during his tenure in office, Belmont County 
     repeatedly benefitted from his expertise as nature saw fit to 
     test his skill with the 1990 Flood of Wegee and Pike Creeks, 
     the snow emergency of 1994, and the flash flood of June 1998; 
     and,
       Whereas, Dick Quinlin was ever present to guide our 
     community out of disaster, and was duly recognized by the 
     Governor of Ohio as he was presented with the Ohio 
     Commendation Medal, by the Ohio National Guard, and by the 
     Belmont County Bar Association with the Liberty Bell Award; 
     and
       Whereas, I desire to add my voice to the chorus of well 
     wishers who have repeatedly expressed admiration, respect and 
     friendship, for Dick Quinlin;

  Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring 
the career of Dick Quinlin. His lifelong service and commitment to 
Belmont County is to be commended.
