  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate 14-year-old Taylor Sanders on her tremendous achievement 
in winning the ``Kids BBQ Championship'' on the Food Network. I am 
delighted that she represented our Naples, Florida, community in front 
of a national audience with excellent cooking skills and selfless 
character.
  The $10,000 reward for her victory is well deserved for all of her 
hard work. She is a very considerate and mature young person, as 
illustrated by her donating a portion of her reward to a charity, Take 
a Soldier Fishing. This is a wonderful organization and I am proud that 
she chose to honor our soldiers.
  Taylor's barbeque skills and generosity show sophistication beyond 
her years. I know that our Southwest Florida community is extremely 
grateful for her contributions.
