             TRIBUTE TO PUBLISHERS SETH AND LUCILLE HEYWOOD

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to a newspaper that has provided the town of Merrimack, New 
Hampshire, with information and insight for the past twenty-one years. 
The Village Crier is a paper for which many of the town residents of 
Merrimack have waited in anticipation each week. It certainly has 
greatly impacted the community as a whole.
  The Village Crier has been on the front lines of every political 
battle in Merrimack, and the opinions and advice that they brought to 
the tale will be greatly missed. Both Seth and Lucille have put 
countless hours into the production of the Crier, and have gained the 
respect and admiration of not only their staff, but of the entire 
community.
  It is with sincere regret and deep sadness that I bid farewell to the 
Village Crier. I wish both Seth and Lucille the best as they continue 
with their future endeavors. The Village Crier will be greatly missed, 
and it is an honor to represent both Seth and Lucille Heywood in the 
United States Senate.
