                      Thursday, September 24, 2015

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
the West Orange Times & Observer as they celebrate 110 years of 
publication in Orange County, Florida.
  From its roots, the West Orange Times has been committed to 
informing, educating, and entertaining their readers. Based in Winter 
Garden, the paper has grown and prospered with the city region into a 
bustling center of news, community, and growth.
  I met George and Anne Bailey back in 1980, when I was first elected 
to the Florida House of Representatives. We didn't always see exactly 
alike, but we became very good friends for many years. Throughout my 
service in both Tallahassee and Washington, the West Orange Times has 
remained my hometown paper, and is still delivered to my home every 
week.
  Newspapers bring a community together as a method for informing the 
public, sharing the highs and lows, and advertising events that knit us 
together. I am grateful for the leadership and involvement of the West 
Orange Times & Observer, their long history in our area, and their 
dedication to draw our community together. West Orange is stronger 
because of them.
