                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 15, 2010

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, today, the Saddle River 
Police Department will hold its Youth Leadership Program graduation 
ceremony for the students of Wandell Elementary School located in 
Saddle River, NJ. The participants of 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 Detective Timothy Gerity.
  Through opening the lines of communication between local law 
enforcement and youth, the Saddle River Youth Leadership Program 
empowers youth with the confidence and courage to say no to drugs and 
also defeats the negative cultural influences which they are challenged 
with on a daily basis.
  I am immensely proud of my young constituents who participated in 
this program at Wandell Elementary School; thus, I would like to 
recognize each of them for taking this vital step towards positive 
citizenship:
  Jack Bush, James Butler, Natalie Formento, Alanna Fullerton, Grace 
Hinchen, Kaitlin Hofer, Maxx King, David LaManna, Lucy Pennell, Mary 
Pless, Aram Rashduni, Hannah Rogers, Michael Saks, Spencer Shih, Maya 
Silberman, Britni Strobeck, Richard Vincent, Emma Walsh, Taylor Wiener, 
Devin Bovino, Ryan Carr, Stephanie Devli, Kathleen Dorce, Zachary 
Dreznin, Elizabeth Dutko, Kristen Egan, Hana Friedman, Melissa 
Katsapis, Maeson Nolan, Alexander Rohrscheidt, Benjamin Saks, Katharin 
Spence, Mark Tseytin, Carl Villegas, Euan Walker, and Jaqueline Wiebye.
