 RECOGNIZING CHRISTOPHER BROOKS AS OHIO'S 13th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 
                          CHAMPION OF THE WEEK

  (Mrs. SYKES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Christopher 
Brooks as Ohio's 13th Congressional District champion of the week.
  Christopher is a senior AP art student at Canton McKinley High 
School. This year, he was awarded a Gold Key, two Silver Keys, and an 
honorable mention in the regional scholastic art competition.
  Christopher's beginnings in art started in kindergarten, where he 
used his creative skills to make unique constructions out of LEGO 
blocks. Fast-forward to high school, and he has taken his passion for 
art to the next level by creating beautiful color pencil works and oil 
paintings.
  Christopher's work that earned him a Gold Key will now be considered 
for a national award.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Christopher on this fantastic 
accomplishment, and wish him good luck as he moves on to represent our 
region on the national stage. He is a shining example of why Ohio's 
13th Congressional District is known as the birthplace of champions.
