     IN HONOR OF THE WINNERS OF THE 2006-2007 INTERNET SCIENCE AND 
                            TECHNOLOGY FAIR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2007

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the 
students of Don Bosco Prep High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, who 
recently won first place in Information and Communication in the 2006-
2007 Internet Science and Technology Fair. The Class of 2008 students, 
James Cahayla-Wynne, Walter Hickey, Alexander Hieronymi, Robert 
Hoffmann, and John Kelly III developed an Integrated Navigation System 
called ``On Target.''
  As the students themselves have described it on their website, 
www.ph3k.com: ``We resolve to design a multipurpose beacon, using GPS 
(Global Positioning Systems) technology, that can relay both its 
position and additional information about the surrounding environment, 
to existing data centers. These data centers will then synthesize and 
organize this raw data and forward it to the troops in the field who 
need it.''
  These very bright students were aided in their quest by very 
supportive family, teachers, school administrators, and community 
leaders--Mrs. Bernadette Kozak, LTC Steven Fleming of the U.S. Military 
Academy, Fr. Lou Konopelski, and Mr. Paul O'Connor. As the George 
Bernard Shaw quote on the Don Bosco website states, ``Life isn't about 
finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.'' Clearly, the 
faculty and staff at this school breathe life into those words each 
day.
