                         HONORING DANIEL ANTIS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GINNY BROWN-WAITE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 4, 2003

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Corporal Daniel Antis, a constituent of mine residing in Levy County in 
my Fifth Congressional District. Corporal Antis, a hard-working 
corrections officer, was recently named the 2003 Levy County 
Corrections Officer of the Year by his colleagues and superiors and I 
want to take this opportunity before this body to honor him and to say 
a few words about why he is deserving of this noble distinction.
  Corporal Antis began his career as a corrections officer in 1999 and 
came to work for the Levy County Sheriff's Office Jail Division in 
September of last year.
  Corporal Antis has been described by his colleagues as someone with a 
quiet but professional demeanor, and his arduous work and drive have 
not gone unnoticed by his peers. His ambition and ``can-do'' attitude 
won him the promotion to his current position as a corporal only 7 
months after joining the Levy County Corrections team.
  He is truly an asset in every way to his colleagues and to the Levy 
County Sheriff's office.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in saluting 
Corporal Antis and all officers of the law, for the work they do is 
invaluable and of immeasurable importance to our society and to our 
safety.
