                          HONORING LOU SANDERS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CAROLYN McCARTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of Lou 
Sanders for an outstanding career in journalism and longstanding 
dedication to serving the people of Long Island, New York. As the owner 
of the Mineola America for 40 years and as the writer of the Mineola 
America column Around the Town with Lou, Mr. Sanders serves as a staple 
to the residents of Mineola. For these reasons and many others, I 
believe he is worthy of recognition.
  Mr. Sanders earned his degree in journalism at New York University 
and has been an irreplaceable asset to his community in many 
capacities. Lou has been elected the position of President of the 
Mineola Chamber of Commerce five times and has been elected twice for 
the position of President of the Nassau County Press Association. Lou 
and his wife Grace started the Mineola America in 1952 and, after 40 
years, sold the paper to Anton Community Newspapers. As the current 
writer of the Mineola America column Around the Town with Lou, Mr. 
Sanders consistently offers the community encouraging words about the 
issues affecting Long Islanders' day-to-day life.
  Lou is a part of what makes Mineola, New York a wonderful place to 
live, and I am grateful to him for all that he has provided to the 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in expressing the gratitude 
of the U.S. Congress for his contributions to society.
