HONORING THE LIFE OF ANTHONY CAZILLO III
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Kahele). The Chair recognizes the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Smucker) for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Anthony
Cazillo, III, who passed away last month at the young age of 26 years
old.
Anthony made an exceptional impact in his short life in the lives
that he touched and in the community that he lived. He served as a
township supervisor in Pequea Township, Lancaster County, and he was
running for reelection this year.
To serve in elected office at such a young age speaks to the life of
service that Anthony lived and the passion that he had for improving
his community. One of Anthony's goals as a supervisor was to ``make
Pequea Township boring again.'' This is just one example of his wit,
his sense of humor, and I believe indicative of the servant's spirit
that he carried as a local elected official.
Anthony was a graduate of Millersville University and the Penn Manor
School District. He is survived by his wife, Katelyn; his parents; and
his sisters.
My condolences and prayers of comfort are with the Cazillo family,
his friends, and all those who grieve for Anthony.
I was really thankful to have gotten to know him in recent years. We
certainly wished that Anthony could have been with all of us longer,
but we do give thanks for the time spent with him.
Utz's 100th Anniversary
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an iconic business
and household brand name from Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional
District.
Utz Brands of Hanover--the ``Snack Food Capital of the World''--is
celebrating its 100th year in business and now has the fifth generation
of family members as part of the company.
Founded as Hanover Home Brand Potato Chips by Bill and Salie Utz in
1921 with just $300, the company used hand-operated equipment to
produce up to 50 pounds of potato chips per hour from their home.
Quickly outgrowing the volume they were able to produce from their
home, the company changed its name to Utz Potato Chip Company and
purchased land to build their first factory on Carlisle Street in
Hanover in 1947.
Fifty pounds of potato chips per hour in 1921 has grown to 5.5
million pounds of snacks produced each week. Utz Brand operates 15
factories in the United States, generating over $1 billion in sales
annually. The company's headquarters and six manufacturing facilities,
as well as 1,800 employees who staff those facilities, call
Pennsylvania's 11th District home.
Utz is certainly one of the key families and companies that have
earned Hanover the moniker of the ``Snack Food Capital of the World.''
They have made an extraordinary impact on the community that I
represent through their business and charitable efforts.
I want to congratulate them on this remarkable milestone of 100 years
in business and wish them continued success in the next century as
well.
Eighteen Days for H.R. 18
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of life and our
Nation's unborn children.
For over 40 years, the Hyde amendment has kept taxpayer money from
funding abortions, and it is estimated to have saved at least 2.4
million lives.
Polling consistently shows that a majority of Americans oppose being
forced to pay for abortions with their tax money. This is something
that we all should be able to agree on. However, House Democrats
recently passed a spending bill for the Department of Health and Human
Services that, for the first time since 1976, does not include the Hyde
amendment.
H.R. 18, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, would make the
prohibition against Federal funding for abortions permanent and
government-wide.
Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committees on Energy
and Commerce, Ways and Means and the Judiciary be discharged from
further consideration of H.R. 18.
Life is a precious gift, and we must do all that we can to ensure
that we defend the unborn who have no voice to speak for themselves.
