  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Madam Speaker, it is with great sincerity and 
admiration that I offer congratulations to several of northwest 
Indiana's most talented, dedicated, and hardworking individuals. On 
Friday, July 31, 2009, the Lake County Electricians Joint 
Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) will honor the class of 
2009 at their annual Apprentice Completion Banquet, which will be held 
at the Avalon Manor Banquet Hall in Merrillville, Indiana.
  This year, the Lake County Electricians JATC will be recognizing and 
honoring twenty-nine graduates who have completed the apprentice 
training. This year's graduates are: Jake Archambault, Jennifer Batka, 
Bryan Bogacz, Brett Bormann, Steve Brumley, Kelly Carlson, Jonathan 
Chariton, Noble Dennie, Jake Duttlinger, Andrew Filipowski, Theresa 
Gibbs, Josh Hardebeck, Nick Hardesty, Matt Marckese, Justin Marcotte, 
Joe Michaels, Jonathan Moran, Jon Moyado, Mike Nelleman, Ben O'Neall, 
Jon Orzachowicz, Chris Roark, Kyle Spicer, Jason Tampauskas, Joe 
Thomas, Nick Trinidad, Andy Vlachos, Arnell Washington, and John 
Yaksic.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in its 
craftsmanship and loyalty by its tradesmen. These outstanding graduates 
all exemplify these traits. They have mastered their trade and have 
demonstrated their loyalty to both the union and the community through 
their commitment, hard work, and selfless sacrifice.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these committed, hardworking individuals. 
Along with the other extraordinary men and women of northwest Indiana's 
unions, these individuals have contributed in many ways to the growth 
and development of the economy in Indiana's First Congressional 
District, and I am very proud to represent them in Washington, DC.
