                       RECOGNIZING THE RYE RECORD

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the exemplary work of 
The Rye Record, the local newspaper that covers the comings and goings 
of the Rye community since 1988.
  Printed twice each month, The Rye Record features stories about the 
activities of local government, city council, the planning board, 
zoning board, and other such agencies.
  Chronicles in The Rye Record include programs and services provided 
by local nonprofit organizations such as the Rye YMCA; the Rye Free 
Reading Room; the Rye Nature Center; the Rye Historical Society, and 
much more. It also includes the event and religious services of Rye's 
houses of worship and the many advanced recreation programs and special 
events.
  The newspaper, owned by the new team of John Elsen and Zach Wydra, 
has led a group of new and experienced writers working together on 
local sports, letters to the editor, calendar of community events, 
articles about Rye's history, school news, and sports.
  The Rye Record features reporters Camille Botello, Chris Marshall, 
and Miranda Ferrante, among many. It also includes contributing writers 
like longtime Rye residents Paul Hicks and David Hessekiel. They 
capture it all.
  From the floor of the House of Representatives, we salute The Rye 
Record, another example of local entrepreneurship and media savvy.
