  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, today I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Northstars Dance Ensemble for wins in the national 
dance titles of the Marching Auxiliaries of America Southeast 
Championships and the Showcase America Unlimited State/National 
Championships.
  The Northstars have been competing on a national basis since 1980 and 
have won many regional and national titles.
  This season the Northstars' impressive national titles were coupled 
with the prestigious honor of being selected by the American Dance/
Drill Team to represent them in a performance in front of the 
Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. and to march in the Cherry Blossom 
Festival Parade on Easter Weekend.
  Our Central New York community is proud of the hard work and 
dedication displayed by the talented members of the Northstars Dance 
Ensemble. I am equally proud of the support received by their parents 
and community.
  Members of the 1998 Northstars Dance Ensemble are Captain Nicole 
Proscio, Co-Captains Heather Brownell and Kerri Styn, Stephanie 
Anderton, Dawn Bombard, Sandra Brewer, Allison Brown, Emily Brown, 
Laura Buchanan, Micki Downs, Renee Hunt, Stephanie Keiser, Erica 
Laverne, Lyndsey Ludovici, Cathy Mauro, Cindy McCartney, Melissa 
Messano, Katie Mulrooney, Karen Russo, Angelina Savinelli, Sara Slifka, 
Sara Warner, Hilary Woznica, Christine Yott, Director/Choreographer 
Marian Lillie, Assistant Director Cristine Fix, and Creative Staff Kim 
Miller, Debra Holden and Barb Keck.
  Congratulations to the members of the Northstar Dance Ensemble for 
their impressive achievements.
