GRACE MENG of new york in the house of representatives Friday, December 30, 2016 Ms. MENG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the 114th Congress. To be honest, I feel we failed the American people at times. When calls were made for sensible gun reform after the Pulse nightclub tragedy, the majority in this body refused to listen. When the American people clamored for policy solutions that would mitigate the effects of climate change during the warmest year on record, the majority refused to listen. When workers demanded increased wages, seniors called for the protection of retirement security programs, and the poor simply asked to be treated with a bit more dignity in the face of assistance cuts, the majority failed to listen. Despite these disappointments, however, there were opportunities for good that were seized. We recently passed the ``21st Century Cures Act'', we shepherded through multi-year water resource development and surface transportation reauthorizations, we began to address the opioid epidemic, and we finally replaced ``No Child Left Behind''. In each of these instances, there were opportunities for Members to improve these pieces of legislation, and I feel fortunate to have had several opportunities to do so successfully on behalf of my constituents. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to read into the Record some of the legislative achievements that were signed into law this Congress on behalf of the people of the Sixth Congressional District of New York: (1) H.R. 4238, ``To amend the Departm… | |||

Wilker, Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer: Eternal God, for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven. You have made each of us and gathered us together for this moment. Jesus Christ promised at the end of time that the nations will be judged by how they feed the hungry, refresh the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned. Thank You for guiding and encouraging us to answer Your call to justice and mercy in this past year. Forgive us for the ways we mistreated others and failed to care for Your creation. In the new year, astonish and disrupt us so that we may meet You when we serve those who are at the lowest rungs and the farthest margins of our society. When we are vulnerable or suffering, surprise us with Your amazing grace, steadfast love, and everlasting joy. Amen. ____________________ | ||||

ALCEE L. HASTINGS of florida in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2016 Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Payne Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church on the occasion of its 124th anniversary. This fine church, originally named Bethel, was founded on the island of Palm Beach in January 1893. Following its move to West Palm Beach in 1894, the name of the church was changed to Payne Chapel in honor of Bishop Daniel A. Payne.

CAROLYN B. MALONEY of new york in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2016 Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize The Spence School of New York on the occasion of its 125th anniversary. The Spence School has advanced the education of young women tremendously since its founding. The Spence School was established in 1892 by Clara Spence with the mission of providing young girls a solid educational foundation, which was a revolutionary idea for that time. Since then, thousands of young female students have been given a rigorous education that not only builds knowledge, but also character and spirit, and puts young women on a path to a college education. Clara Spence was a social rights activist in the late 19th and early 20th century who aimed to solve class and social problems. Her ideals are embodied in The Spence School's motto, which reads: ``Non scholae sed vitae [[Page E1736]] discimus,'' or ``Not for school but for life we learn.'' Clara Spence preached virtue and care to her students and children around her to inspire them to grow up and affect change. Her care and careful planning still live in the actions of the school to this day. That is why the school's mission statement aims for a ``lifelong transformation of self and the world with purpose, passion and perspective.'' During its 125 years, The Spence School developed a reputation for excellence in education. It has shown a commitment to helping all women by continually educating those of diverse backgrounds. The school's c… | |||

Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate Senator Barbara Boxer on her retirement after 34 years in Congress. Her dedication to her constituents and her legislative achievements are an inspiration. The lives of her constituents are better because of her hard work and public service on their behalf. I am honored to call her my friend, mentor, and constituent. She is a fearless trailblazer, and I want to recognize her lifelong advocacy for Californians and all Americans. Senator Boxer's time in public office began in 1976, when she was elected to the Marin County Board of Supervisors, where she later became the Board's first woman president. After serving for six years, she was elected to the United States House of Representatives to serve California's 6th Congressional District. [[Page E1737]] Her first campaign slogan, ``Barbara Boxer Gives a Damn,'' would exemplify the passion with which she has fought through these years.

DEREK KILMER of washington in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2016 Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and service of Officer Reginald ``Jake'' Gutierrez of the Tacoma Police Department, who was killed in the line of duty on Wednesday, November 30, 2016. My heart goes out to Jake's fiancee, children, and grandchild, who lost him in service to his community and his country. This is a tragedy. Officer Gutierrez lost his life in a senseless act of violence. Those who witnessed the shooting of Officer Gutierrez stated that his sacrifice saved the lives of those around him. His last action was to shout a warning to those in and around the house--his partner, the suspect's family, and their landlord--to leave the house to safety. His final moments are a testament to his selflessness, his bravery, and his commitment to helping others. Mr. Speaker, Jake was a well-respected member of the Tacoma Police Department. A resident of Kitsap County, he had served on the Tacoma force for 17 years. Officer Gutierrez was a 45-year-old father of three, a grandfather of one, and was engaged to be married. These dreams have been cut short by his death, and remind us that life is precious and uncertain. Fellow officers and residents of Tacoma remember him for his quick wit and his easy-going manner. They point to the fact that he always had a smile on his face, and cared about the community he served. Leaders in the neighborhood in which he was killed have remarked on the stand-up character of Officer Gutierrez. … | |||

Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Major Chuck Kilbride for his work with the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program. Major Kilbride, through his work with the Toys for Tots Program, has provided hope and joy to children in need during the holiday season for well over two decades. Started in 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, Toys for Tots collects toys to provide to less fortunate youth, bringing local communities together around spreading holiday cheer. Toys for Tots was a quick success, collecting and distributing 5,000 toys in its first year alone. It has only improved throughout the years, providing over 512 million toys to over 237 million children nationwide to date. The Toys for Tots Program is not only about making children's wishes come true, it is about creating an environment of inclusion for all youth, regardless of their background or economic situation. The program recognizes that children are our most valuable asset because they are our future; investing in them is contributing to our future. The Toys for Tots Program has a special place in my heart. Each year, it has provided toys to public housing residents throughout my district in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

What started as an idea by three brothers from Italy to make and sell authentic Italian desserts has become a landmark and a point of pride for New York's vibrant Italian community. Opened in October 1976 by Salvatore, Michael, and Mario Fortunato in Williamsburg, the Fortunato Brothers Cafe is known for its famous pastries with displays full of cannoli, marzipan, tarts, gelato, and cakes of all shapes and sizes. Using the same original recipes since its opening, Fortunato Brothers Cafe's sweets are just as delicious now as they were in 1976. The bakery's continued success serves as a model of excellence for other small businesses and speaks to the strength of New York's Italian community. In a city crowded with Italian restaurants and eateries, Fortunato Brothers Cafe continues to shine due to the high standard its owners have set for it. The Fortunato Brothers Cafe is a symbol of the resilience and liveliness of Italian heritage. Although Williamsburg has changed a lot over the years, the bakery's recipes and atmosphere are timeless.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Curtis High School football team for winning the Public Schools Athletic League city championship. After steamrolling their opponents throughout the regular season and playoffs, the Warriors defeated Erasmus Hall High School 24-21 at Yankee Stadium to capture the championship title and finish the season ranked first overall in New York City. Closing out their season with an undefeated 12-0 record, these young athletes proved that hard work, dedication, and perseverance are the keys to victory. The Warriors never backed down from tough competition this past season, and they definitely won't back down next season. Led by head coach Peter ``Gambo'' Gambardella, the Warriors demonstrated nothing but pure excellence on the field. Moreover, this team showed its dominance in the stats. Wide receiver Amad Anderson, Jr. finished the regular season tied first overall in touchdown receptions in the league; running back Ty'Son Lawton finished second in rushing yards and tied for first in rushing touchdowns; and quarterback Quincy Barnes finished second in passing yards and first in passing touchdowns. But as each of them knows, you always put your team before any personal glory. The Warriors exemplified teamwork and cooperation, so their championship should come as no surprise to their classmates, teachers, or parents. Mr. Speaker, this team gave their time, effort, and sweat to be where they are… | |||

ALCEE L. HASTINGS of florida in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 20, 2016 Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Pahokee Senior High School football team of Pahokee, Florida. On December 8, 2016, the Pahokee Blue Devils won their 7th state championship. They finished their season 14-0, defeating all of Florida's top rated teams in Class 1A. Along the way, the Blue Devils won the Muck Bowl, which annually pits them against the Raiders of Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida, one of Florida's most well-known rivalries, for the first time in eight years. First year coach Mr. Orson Walkes, who won four state titles with the team as an assistant, guided his very talented players to the peak of perfection. With their winning effort in 2016, they have shown the potential for future championships. While the seniors will be adding their skills to the football teams of some of America's finest colleges and universities next season, returning players will be joined by other talented players in what will surely be another exciting season for the Blue Devils. Mr. Speaker, The Blue Devils of Pahokee, Florida are the only football team from Palm Beach County to win a state championship this year. I am delighted that such a fine coach and extremely talented group of players represent my Congressional district. ____________________ |
