                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 20, 2001

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

       Whereas, James Mahoney on the 12th day of May, 2001 was 
     awarded a Doctorate of Public Service, conferred upon him by 
     the Muskingum College Board of Trustees; and
       Whereas, Dr. James Mahoney has profoundly influenced the 
     educational experiences of thousands of students in Ohio as 
     an elementary school teacher, a principal, and now as a 
     school superintendent; and
       Whereas, Dr. Mahoney successfully orchestrated the merger 
     of three county educational service centers, creating the 
     Muskingum Valley Educational Service Centers for which he 
     serves as superintendent; and
       Whereas, Dr. Mahoney was named ``Educator of the Year'' in 
     January 2001 by the Ohio Association of Superintendents, 
     illustrating his significant impact on the development of 
     more than 25,000 students in his charge; and
       Whereas, Dr. Mahoney has maintained a rigorously scholarly 
     agenda during his twenty year career, authoring numerous 
     publications on diverse topics in the educational arena;
       Therefore, I ask my colleagues to join with me in 
     recognizing the impressive accomplishments of James Mahoney, 
     an outstanding citizen of Ohio whom I am proud to call a 
     constituent.
