                        HONORING MISTY DeMICHAEL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 8, 2004

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Misty DeMichael of 
Newark, Ohio and commemorate her assistance and outstanding volunteer 
service through the Salvation Army. Ms. DeMichael was the recipient of 
the first-ever Salvation Army and Dallas Cowboys National Youth Service 
Award presented on September 21, 2004 at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. 
Additionally, for her benevolent services, Ms. DeMichael received a 
$10,000 scholarship for her college education donated by Dallas Cowboys 
Owner and General Manager, Jerry Jones. The service provided by Ms. 
DeMichael over the past 6 years that she has been volunteering has been 
immeasurable.
  I would like to share one example of Ms. DeMichael's hard work and 
dedication. In 2001 Ms. DeMichael created a computer database called 
``The Clearing House''. The Clearing House helps to keep track of 
assistance given to needy families in Licking County, Ohio during the 
holidays so that social service agencies may distribute their aid 
proportionately. Ms. DeMichael continues to serve the Licking County 
Salvation Army while attending nearby Otterbein College, and still 
dedicates extra hours during the holiday season.
  Once again, I would like to congratulate Ms. DeMichael for her 
service through the Salvation Army. Hard work, dedication, and 
commitment like that exhibited by Ms. DeMichael continues to give me 
faith that our country's future is in good hands.
