“today I want to talk about Kathy Wallace of Bellaire, OH, who has been named the Ohio Valley Medical Center's 1997 Ree Cook-Reiter Women's Center ``Woman of the Year.'' Kathy is the first recipient of the award which honors women who are devoted to helping their communities. Kathy is special to many people in the Ohio Valley where I am from. She has touched many lives through her caring and giving attitude. Some of those people are residents of the Country Club Retirement Center in Bellaire, where she gives weekly manicures. She always has a warm smile and friendly conversation for them. Kathy also donates sweet treats to nursing home residents from the Dairy Queen that she owns in Martins Ferry, OH. Kathy has taught Bellaire and Belmont County about the importance of volunteering and dedication to one's community. She leads by example. Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking Kathy Wallace for her service to Belmont County, and to congratulate her as she is honored with this award as the ``Woman of the Year.'' I wish Kathy Wallace continued success and health and prosperity. She is what America is all about. She has made people's lives brighter.”
