           HONORING DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL'S BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Barr) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the boys basketball team at 
Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, which is my hometown, 
for winning the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's State 
championship, better known in Kentucky as the Sweet Sixteen.
  As everyone knows, Kentucky is a basketball-crazy State, and this is 
a great accomplishment. This is the school's first-ever State 
championship in boys' basketball and the first championship for a 
Lexington high school since 2001.
  In the first three games of the tournament, the Bulldogs posted come-
from-behind wins over Mercer County, Bowling Green, and Newport Central 
Catholic to reach the finals.
  However, in the final game, led by junior Taveion Hollingsworth, who 
was the tournament MVP, they led wire to wire, defeating Louisville's 
Doss High School 61-52. Like any successful endeavor, the victory was 
won by dedication, hours of practice, determination, and teamwork.
  I congratulate the students, head coach Scott Chalk, and the entire 
coaching staff on the State championship. I am proud to honor Dunbar 
High School before the United States House of Representatives.


                 Honoring Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of National Child Abuse 
Prevention Month and to highlight the work of Prevent Child Abuse 
Kentucky.
  This organization is on the front lines to make sure Kentucky's 
children are raised in safe, loving homes and are not abused, 
mistreated, or neglected. It develops and promotes effective strategies 
and programs through community involvement, public education, and 
advocacy.
  Efforts are centered on recognizing the inherent potential and 
goodness of children, on strengthening families, and on empowering the 
community to become involved with this important mission.
  This cause is personal to me. As the father of two girls and as the 
former president of the board of directors of Prevent Child Abuse 
Kentucky, I am incredibly proud of the good work this group does every 
single day for Kentucky's children and all year long.
  I hope all of my colleagues will join me in thanking Prevent Child 
Abuse Kentucky and similar organizations around the country as we 
recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month.


                         Honoring Dinny Phipps

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of Mr. Ogden 
``Dinny'' Phipps for his contributions to the American thoroughbred 
horse-racing industry and in remembrance of a legend in the sport of 
kings.
  Mr. Phipps leaves a proud legacy in his having made a profound and 
positive impact on the game for many decades. As an owner and breeder, 
Mr. Phipps owned and reared numerous champions, including the 1993 
Kentucky Oaks winner Dispute, the 2005 Breeders' Cup Distaff winner 
Pleasant Home, and, most recently, the 2013 winner of the Kentucky 
Derby, Orb.
  However, one could argue that Mr. Phipps' greatest impact was felt 
beyond the racetrack, as he was a steadfast advocate for the industry 
and served the racing community as an industry executive.
  From 1983 until his recent retirement in 2015, Mr. Phipps served as 
chairman of The Jockey Club, the official breed registry of the 
thoroughbred industry. He also served as a longtime member of the New 
York Racing Association, serving as the Association's chairman from 
1976 to 1983.
  Mr. Phipps' love of this great American pastime will leave an 
enduring mark on the thoroughbred industry. Mr. Phipps is survived by 
his wife, Andrea, and his children, Kayce, Kelley, Lilly, Daisy, 
Samantha, and Ogden.

  I extend my deepest sympathy to the Phipps' family, and I join my 
fellow Americans in honoring the life, contributions, and service of 
Ogden ``Dinny'' Phipps.
