                         Monday, June 15, 2009

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, today, the Saddle River 
Police Department will hold its Youth Leadership Program graduation 
ceremony with the students of the Wandell Elementary School. The young 
people participating in this important program have made a commitment 
to say no to drugs, underage drinking, and gang violence. They have 
done this with the support of Chief of Police Timothy McWilliams and 
Superintendant Dr. David Goldblatt.
  The Saddle River Youth Leadership Program allows children to defeat 
the negative cultural influences that they are challenged with daily by 
opening the lines of communication between law enforcement and youth, 
empowering them with the confidence and courage to say no to drugs.
  I am proud of the young boys and girls who participated in this 
program at the Wendell School, and I would like to recognize them all 
for taking this step toward positive citizenship: Tiara Berry, Nina 
Butler, Gabriella Dedvukej, Samuel Edelman, John Engkvist, Samantha 
Fisher, Max Freedberg, Ekaterina Hardesty, Jodi Hinchen, Trey Kidd, 
Niko Kourgalis, Stephanie Lande, Alison Luing, Ohiragg Manchanda, 
Gianna Pace, Ryan Perle, Lelyzaveta Troschii, Derek Wafer, Isaiah 
Wright, Alexander Zahn, Claudia Baker, Evan Berker, Juliette Boyajian, 
Gregory Ceccon, Carolina Earle, Sam Hajal, Harrison He, Candace Krauss, 
Anthony LaBarbiera, Nicholas LoPiccolo, Patrick Mello, Michael 
Morrissey, Connor Nicholson, Ana Ordonez, Matthew Perle, Kimberly 
Quinones, Jacqueline Rodgers, Samson Silberman, Sarah Taranto, Kyle 
Weber, and Alexis Weiner.
