     HONORING RETIRED ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM THE TOWN OF BRANT, NY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor three dedicated 
public servants whose service to the town of Brant has been effective 
and honorable. I wish today to honor retiring Town Supervisor Samuel J. 
Chiavetta and retiring Council Members Eugene Czyz and Marting Rosiek.
  Although one of the smallest towns in Erie County and among the 
smallest in the 27th Congressional District, the town of Brant is in 
many ways a very natural bridge between the two counties that make up 
the 27th District--Erie County in the north and Chautauqua County in 
the south. Though a tiny rural farming community, the town of Brant is 
an important part of our region, and I am pleased to honor its retiring 
elected leaders today.
  Supervisor Chiavetta, Councilman Czyz and Councilman Rosiek served as 
a effective public officials during a time of change, both in Brant as 
well as throughout western New York. Their service was to the taxpayers 
who elected them to public office, and their dedication to their town 
and to their community is steadfast. I am honored to have been able to 
call them colleagues in government.
  Mr. Speaker, I again want to thank you for this opportunity to honor 
these three fine public servants, and I want to wish to them and to 
their many friends, family members and public supporters all the best 
of good luck and Godspeed in their future endeavors.

                          ____________________
