              RECOGNIZING ALBERTA WHITAKER PARKER NEWSOME

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I recognize the remarkable 
Alberta Whitaker Parker Newsome, a true gem in the community of 
Ahoskie, North Carolina.
  At the impressive age of 100, Ms. Alberta maintains her spunk by 
exercising 1 hour a day 3 times a week lifting weights at the ECU 
Health

Wellness Center. She actively drives around town and takes great pride, 
too, in her yard that she beautifully maintains.
  Here is another secret: She starts the day with a bowl of oatmeal.
  Her spirited enthusiasm extends to her spiritual life, as well, where 
she sings in the New Ahoskie Baptist Church choir.
  She believes in eating right, exercising, and trusting in God. Ms. 
Alberta is the ideal of longevity and resilience, inspiring us to 
embrace life with purpose, gratitude, and a zest for living.
  She truly represents the heart and soul of eastern North Carolina, 
and we love her.
