  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, an invaluable public servant is retiring 
after years of exemplary service as the town supervisor of Riverhead. 
Since 1979, Joe Janoski has been well respected by many people 
throughout the State, county, and town governments for his knowledge 
and experience in local government. In addition to this service, Joe 
serves as a member of many community organizations including: Knights 
of Columbus; Lifetime Member of the Polish Town Civic Association; and 
the Boy Scouts of America.
  He is known and respected for his presence at all community 
functions. He is recognized for his outstanding service and dedication 
to the community by numerous community organizations including the 
Riverhead Tri-Club--Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions--and was awarded Man of the 
Year by the Riverhead Chamber of Commerce.
  His greatest accomplishments are the rebirth of balanced economic 
growth of the town and the professionalization of Riverhead government. 
He led the way for townwide extension of public water, upgrading and 
improvement of the town's sewer district facilities, establishment of a 
scavenger waste facility, establishment of a juvenile aide bureau, and 
many other milestone projects.
  We all wish Joe the best in his well-deserved retirement and owe him 
a big thank you.
