                RECOGNIZING RICK CARDINAL AND WENDI DAMM

  (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 Rick Cardinal and 
Wendi Damm as Ohio's 13th Congressional District Champions of the Week.
  Rick and Wendi are chemistry teachers at Barberton High School, and 
this year, they each earned the Gene Easter Award, which recognizes 
science teachers who demonstrate in their classrooms the importance of 
science and chemistry. They earned this award for their dedication to 
the Explorers Post, a program designed to inspire students to explore 
careers in STEM fields.
  Ohio's 13th Congressional District has long been known for its 
scientific innovation, and Rick and Wendi are ensuring this legacy for 
generations to come.
  Congratulations once again to Rick Cardinal and Wendi Damm on this 
fantastic accomplishment. I thank them for all they do to inspire the 
next generation of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
