                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 1997

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Carol Elizabeth 
Story and Parkview Elementary School's Science Olympiad Team on a first 
place finish in the Northeast Ohio Elementary Science Olympiad.
  Mrs. Carol Elizabeth Story, an 18-year resident of Fairview Park, OH, 
successfully served as coordinator and coach for Parkview Elementary 
School's Science Olympiad Team, leading them to a first place finish in 
the Northeast Ohio Elementary Science Olympiad which was held at 
Cleveland State University on Saturday, March 22, 1997. Mrs. Story 
began coordinating this Parkview team by herself until she could 
coordinate a contingent of parent volunteers to assist in competitive 
training for events which include: No Bones About It (Anatomy), 
Estimania, Structures, Circuit Wizardry, Write It, Do It, Don't Bug Me, 
(Entomology), Leaf Powders, Orienteering, Aerodynamics, Pentathlon, 
Weather or Not (Meteorology), Reflection Relay, Rock Hound, Simple 
Machines, Starry, Starry Night, Super Pulley, and Phi Kappa Delta 
Science Bowl.
  Mrs. Story has helped Parkview's team to a 5th, 4th, 2d, and most 
currently, a 1st place finish over 26 schools in northeastern Ohio. 
This is her 7th year as coordinator for the team. The 1997 winning 
Olympiad team included; Kris Aber, Jon Brady, R.J. Dieringer, Dough 
Ellett, Joy Hoeffler, Christine Jackson, Laura Jackson, Emily Jones, 
Katie Lane, Katie Ludwig, Chris McGaw, Alison Maringo, Amanda Melenick, 
Elizabeth Sauer, Shannon Snow, Desiree N. Stark, Bryan Story, and Erick 
Williams.
  Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Story deserves recognition for her knowledge, 
initiative, and instinct in preparing this formidable team of young 
people to compete with their peers in such a precocious scientific 
challenge. With her guidance, the dedicated team from Parkview 
Elementary was an outstanding success at the Science Olympiad.
