                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 4, 2011

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Norman Vutz on 
the occasion of being honored as Schuylkill Township's 2011 Outstanding 
Citizen of the Year.
  A longtime Township resident, Norman moved to Schuylkill Township in 
1978 and served 28 years as a member of its Board of Supervisors. One 
of Norman's greatest accomplishments was helping to facilitate the 
Township's transition from utilizing an independent contractor for 
roads to establishing its own Roads Department. With an excellent and 
dedicated Roadmaster, the Township is saving money, is better managed, 
and is providing more efficient service to its residents.
  One of his favorite aspects of serving on the Board of Supervisors is 
working with the talented and dedicated Township staff and helping area 
citizens. These are the folks that have provided Norman such great 
satisfaction during his long years of public service.
  Mr. Speaker, in light of his exemplary years of service to Schuylkill 
Township, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing
