“I rise to recognize the exemplary work of The Rye Record, the local newspaper that covers the comings and goings of the Rye community since 1988. Printed twice each month, The Rye Record features stories about the activities of local government, city council, the planning board, zoning board, and other such agencies. Chronicles in The Rye Record include programs and services provided by local nonprofit organizations such as the Rye YMCA; the Rye Free Reading Room; the Rye Nature Center; the Rye Historical Society, and much more. It also includes the event and religious services of Rye's houses of worship and the many advanced recreation programs and special events. The newspaper, owned by the new team of John Elsen and Zach Wydra, has led a group of new and experienced writers working together on local sports, letters to the editor, calendar of community events, articles about Rye's history, school news, and sports. The Rye Record features reporters Camille Botello, Chris Marshall, and Miranda Ferrante, among many. It also includes contributing writers like longtime Rye residents Paul Hicks and David Hessekiel. They capture it all. From the floor of the House of Representatives, we salute The Rye Record, another example of local entrepreneurship and media savvy.”
