      CELEBRATING YOUTH IN THE 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF OHIO

  (Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, in the City of 
Warrensville Heights, Ohio, in the 11th Congressional District of Ohio, 
we celebrated that the Warrensville Heights Tigers won the State 
championship in basketball. We also celebrated that in Bedford, they 
were the runners-up, right in the 11th Congressional District of Ohio. 
It is wonderful to be able to celebrate that our youth are doing great 
things.
  Mr. Speaker, in addition, this coming weekend in the 11th 
Congressional District, we will be hosting our Reclaiming Our Youth 
Empowering Yourself leadership conference. We are looking to build 
leaders in the 11th Congressional District. One of the workshops is 
called ``I am so angry.'' Another one is called ``Decision-making, 
developing your skills.''
  We will be doing a workshop on the media and, finally, solutions and 
impacts. A panel of high school students and college students will 
discuss issues and choices that they make. It is a wonderful 
opportunity to be with such wonderful young people in the 11th 
Congressional District. In fact, our art competition is on Sunday, and 
we had 99 people who submitted artworks for our competition.
