                      HONORING MR. SAMUEL OGNIBENE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 4, 2010

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the years 
of service given to the people of Chautauqua County by Mr. Samuel 
Ognibene. Mr. Ognibene served his constituency faithfully and justly 
during his tenure as the Ellicott Town Justice.
  Public service is a difficult and fulfilling career. Any person with 
a dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Mr. 
Ognibene served his term with his head held high and a smile on his 
face the entire way. I have no doubt that his kind demeanor left a 
lasting impression on the people of Chautauqua County.
  We are truly blessed to have such strong individuals with a desire to 
make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can be. Mr. 
Ognibene is one of those people and that is why, Madam Speaker, I rise 
in tribute to him today.
