  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize John Stemler III of 
Ewing Township, who is being honored by the Ewing Kiwanis Club as the 
Police Officer of the Year on Friday, May 7, 1999.
  This award is bestowed upon him by his peers in recognition of his 
constant willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty.
  In February of 1994, he began his employment with the Ewing Police 
Department as a Communication Operator. After graduating from the 
Trenton Police Academy Basic Training Course, he was sworn in on August 
16, 1994.
  After being sworn into office, Officer Stemler was assigned to the 
Patrol Bureau where he rose to become a Field Training Officer. Officer 
Stemler is also a member of the Police Department Tactical Response 
Team. He has excelled with many letters of commendation for his 
outstanding work as a police officer.
  Officer Stemler is a graduate of the Ewing Public School system and a 
lifelong resident of Ewing Township.
  Mr. Speaker, Officer Stemler is a great example for Central New 
Jersey. I ask all my colleagues to join me in recognizing him.
