                   IN RECOGNITION OF DR. BRIAN MATHIE

  (Mr. BOCCIERI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOCCIERI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in recognition of a man with 
a dedicated vision not just for himself, but for his life's work. My 
constituent, Dr. Brian Mathie of Louisville, Ohio, has a commitment to 
a lifetime of healthy vision for all Ohio residents. He proves why the 
Ohio Optometric Association named him the 2010 Optometrist of the Year.
  For his contributions to preserving the gift of sight for people 
across our district and all across Ohio, for his mentorship and 
leadership in our community, I too join in congratulating Dr. Mathie 
for his service.
  Countless times I have relied upon Dr. Mathie and his staff at the 
Roholt Vision Institute of North Canton to provide care for me. He is 
dependable, reliable, and accurate. Dr. Mathie is not only a leader in 
the physician's office, but in the classroom and the community, where 
he serves as an adjunct faculty member at Ohio State University College 
of Optometry and participates in the Louisville Community Foundation, 
Rotary Club, and Cross Eyed Missions.
  Dr. Mathie, you are a community leader, one dedicated to public 
service and good public health. Thank you for your commitment. I wish 
you success in your profession and your leadership.
