  HONORING JANE FAGERSTROM FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CHAUTAUQUA 
                     COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 12

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jane Fagerstrom, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for her service to the twelfth 
legislative district in the Chautauqua County Legislature. Jane has had 
the opportunity to serve as a strong member of the legislature and an 
active member of the community.
  The campaign trail is a difficult path to take. Any person with a 
dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Ms. 
Fagerstrom traveled that path with her head held high and a smile on 
her face the entire way. I have no doubt that her kind demeanor left a 
lasting impression on the voters of district 12.
  Jane is one of those people that leave a huge impact on her 
community. For many years her efforts to better Chautauqua County have 
left a lasting impression not only on the county itself but on its 
residents. Her face, voice, opinions and successes were a staple in the 
legislature. Our county and our residents are better for the undying 
work Ms. Fagerstrom did during her tenure.
  A true testimony to Jane can be found in many areas of the county and 
in many people whose lives she touched. One doesn't have to look far to 
see what a strong work ethic can do.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong individuals with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Jane is one of those people and that is why Mr. Speaker I rise to 
honor her today.
