           CONGRATULATING ANTHONY CICERO IV AND DAKOTA SNYDER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Smucker) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Anthony Cicero 
IV and Dakota Snyder of Elizabethtown High School in Lancaster County 
for their remarkable achievement on winning the Student Angler 
Federation High School Fishing World Championship last month.
  Their partnership led them to victory over 389 high school teams from 
around the Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, these two young gentlemen are no strangers to the water. 
At their young age, they have been tournament fishing for years and 
practicing all year round.
  Dakota said: ``As long as there is no ice, I am out there fishing.''
  It is a trait that runs in the family, as Anthony and Dakota's 
fathers fished together as a team as well.
  Mr. Speaker, we are blessed with beautiful and great natural 
resources in York and Lancaster Counties, which will be celebrated and 
protected through the passage of my legislation to create the 
Susquehanna National Heritage Area.
  I am very thankful that these two young men enjoy spending time in 
nature while using their talents. I wish them both continued success 
and congratulate them on their championship victory.


   Honoring Community Leaders Making an Impact Combating the Opioid 
                                Epidemic

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and give thanks to 
community leaders who are making an impact on the communities I 
represent in combating the opioid epidemic.
  York and Lancaster County are leading the Nation in their community-
wide, collaborative approach to help neighbors who are struggling with 
addiction.
  York County District Attorney David Sunday and coroner Pam Gay are 
leaders in our community. They have brought together community 
organizations in York County, creating an organization that is now 
known as the York Opioid Collaborative, assisting in coordination of 
services and raising awareness about the opioid crisis in our 
communities and across the Nation.
  Similarly, in Lancaster County, Alice Yoder, the director of 
community health with Penn Medicine, and Lancaster County Commissioner 
Josh Parsons have led an organization called Joining Forces, another 
community-wide effort, this one in Lancaster County.
  Mr. Speaker, while Congress continues to address this critical issue, 
we are fortunate in Pennsylvania's 11th District to have public 
servants leading on the effort to address this horrific epidemic. I 
thank them and many others across our community who are working 
together to make a difference.
