                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Village of 
Glenwillow, Ohio. Since 1893, the Village of Glenwillow has been an 
exemplary community within Northeast Ohio.
  The Village of Glenwillow began as a company town by Austin Powder 
Company in 1893. Eventually, due to increased population, Austin Powder 
Company was unable to test its products in Glenwillow and relocated to 
Athens, Ohio in 1972. While the company had left, the residents of 
Glenwillow were thriving and began making investments and improvements 
to their 2.7 square mile home.
  In 1999, under the leadership of former Mayor Don Payne, a new plan 
for the Village was designed. It included the rehabilitation and 
expansion of the Town Center and Village Center.
  Today, the Village of Glenwillow is home to nearly 1000 residents who 
are led by Mayor Mark Cegelka. Mayor Cegelka was elected to office in 
2009 after serving as the treasurer for the Village on Glenwillow. 
There are six members on the Village Council: Jeffrey Adie, Larry 
Sylver, John Baca, Eric Johnson, Donald Banas and Joseph Barber, Jr.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring the Village of 
Glenwillow and all of its residents.
