LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Malinda Rosenswie upon the occasion of
receiving "An Artistic Discovery" Award by the Congressional Institute

WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to commend and pay
tribute to those young people who, by achieving outstanding success in
educational competition, have inspired and brought pride to our majestic
Empire State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Malinda Rosenswie upon the occasion of receiving "An Artistic Discovery"
Award by the Congressional Institute; and
WHEREAS, Inspired by how her younger sister handled bullying, Malinda
Rosenswie, a senior at Springville High School produced a piece of art
that will be displayed in Washington, D.C.; her work, "Above it All",
was chosen to represent the 27th Congressional District in the Cannon
Tunnel to the Capitol Building; and
WHEREAS, Malinda Rosenswie's piece was the local grand prize winner in
"An Artistic Discovery," the annual art competition sponsored by the
Congressional Institute; one piece of art from each district is chosen
for the year-long display; she won a pair of airline tickets for her and
a guest to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the display in Wash-
ington, D.C.; and
WHEREAS, Malinda Rosenswie's entry also was the Online Gallery Winner,
chosen by the public with more than 350 votes tallied in that particular
contest; she said her 13-year-old sister, Joelle, was her inspiration as
she was bullied not too long ago; showing resilience and poise, Joelle
was able to overcome the problems of bullying; and
WHEREAS, Malinda Rosenswie's art shows a small, painted image of a
leaping girl appearing in the top left corner of the piece; the rest is
a collage of newspaper headlines, overspread with brightly-colored orbs;
and
WHEREAS, Poised eagerly with enthusiasm and determined purpose, this
scholar now stands honorably, with just pride in her accomplishments and
in eager anticipation of future challenges, understanding and appreciat-
ing the caring counsel and support provided by her teachers, coaches and
parents; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Malinda Rosenswie upon the occasion of receiving "An Artistic
Discovery" Award by the Congressional Institute; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Malinda Rosenswie.
