       CELEBRATING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TOWN OF ROSENDALE

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on behalf of the town 
of Rosendale, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary this October 
with a celebration scheduled to last for 10 days. As we begin this 
commemoration of Rosendale's history and contributions to the life of 
the Hudson Valley region and the State of New York, it is a honor and a 
privilege to recognize the tremendous contributions and achievements of 
the town and its supervisor, Beatrice Havranek.
  I have been glad to call supervisor Havranek my friend and colleague 
for many years and I am confident that I am merely echoing the 
sentiment of my many friends in Rosendale when I praise her many good 
works. Over the years Bea has been a dynamic voice for the people of 
Rosendale and has represented their interests with great distinction, 
intelligence, and compassion. While I walk these halls, I often reflect 
upon the true meaning of public service and can cite without hesitation 
Bea Havranek's commitment and dedication to serving her constituents 
and her township as a fine example of selfless public service.
  So as we gather in Rosendale on October 14, 1994 to honor Rosendale's 
150 years of incorporation, we will all pause to thank Bea Havranek for 
her exemplary efforts and service, and I thank my colleagues for 
allowing me this opportunity to celebrate her efforts and the 
township's history.
