                       Thursday, December 6, 2007

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor William Rhodes of 
Gandeeville, WV, for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
  William has been involved as a member of the Boy Scouts for the past 
6 years as a member of Troop 434 sponsored by Walton Union Church in 
Walton, WV. For his Eagle Scout project, William improved the 
facilities at Bessie Jones Memorial Park. He constructed a handicap 
accessible bridge, trash can receptacles, three benches, and most 
notably built a trail at the park complete with signage, so walkers 
could easily navigate their way.
  His accomplishments and hard work demonstrate the high standards held 
by those who achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. He has been involved with 
his local 4-H Club and played freshman and junior varsity football for 
the Roane County Raiders. William is currently a junior at Roane County 
High School and attends Roane-Jackson Vocational School, where he is 
studying auto mechanics.
  I extend my congratulations to William and look forward to his future 
accomplishments. Roane County is fortunate to have such a dedicated, 
patriotic, young man among its citizens.
