vital and healthy business environment. These individuals and 
businesses are committed to strengthening opportunity and prosperity in 
Maine.
  This year's award recipients include: Miles Theeman, recipient of the 
Norbert X. Dowd Award; Hollywood Casino, recipient of the Business of 
the Year Award; Senator Edward Youngblood, recipient of the Catherine 
Lebowitz Award for Public Service; the City of Bangor, recipient of the 
Community Service Award; Acadia Hospital, recipient of the Non-Profit

  These recipients are among the best that Maine has to offer. Through 
their leadership and incredible commitment to their communities and the 
region, Maine is a better place in which to live and do business.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Bangor Region 
Chamber of Commerce and these individuals on their outstanding service 
and achievement.
