             RECOGNIZING JUSTIN MASSIELO AND EMELIE CURTIS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two 
impressive student athletes from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who are 
making their school and our entire community very proud.
  Justin Massielo and Emelie Curtis, students at Pennsbury High School 
in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, both recently hit impressive 
milestones in their respective sports.
  Justin, a senior, recently recorded his 100th hit as a 4-year starter 
for the Falcons' varsity baseball team, and Emelie, a junior, just 
notched her 100th career goal as a 3-year starter for the Falcons' 
varsity girls lacrosse team.
  What makes their achievements even more special, Madam Speaker, is 
that Justin and Emelie also are cousins.
  On behalf of our entire community, I would like to congratulate 
Justin and Emelie on their notable athletic achievements. We wish them, 
and their families continued success.


                  Recognizing Lieutenant Terry Hughes

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, this week is National Police Week, 
and I rise today to recognize a dedicated law enforcement professional 
from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who recently retired after a very 
distinguished career in public service.
  Lieutenant Terry Hughes of the Bristol Township Police Department 
retired after over 30 years in local law enforcement.
  A resident of Bristol Township throughout his entire life, Lieutenant

[[Page H3850]]

Hughes previously worked at the police departments in Hulmeville, 
Newtown Township, Northampton, and Middletown before joining his 
hometown's police force in 1990.
  Throughout his entire tenure in Bristol Township, Terry became a 
senior member of the department, leading detectives, running special 
investigations, and he was a driving force in public outreach.
  Madam Speaker, I had the opportunity to personally work with 
Lieutenant Hughes on the Department of Justice's Weed and Seed program.
  We thank our friend, Terry, for his years of public service and for 
protecting our community. Terry has law enforcement in his blood, and I 
have no doubt whatsoever that his service in protecting our community 
will carry on.


 St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church Celebrates 150th Anniversary

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a faith 
community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that recently celebrated a 
very special milestone.
  St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sellersville 
commemorates its 150th anniversary this year.
  First commissioned in 1869, St. Michael's was to be a union church 
between Reformed and Lutheran Christians. Nearly 2,000 people attended 
one of St. Michael's consecration ceremonies.
  The church is rich with tradition and history. Early sermons were 
spoken in German, and in 1904, the church became the first building in 
Sellersville to have electricity.
  Today, the St. Michael's community is as active as ever, 
participating in community meals, working on community gardens, and 
providing food for Pennridge FISH and Keystone Opportunity Center, and 
offering numerous educational programs.
  Madam Speaker, we congratulate the St. Michael's faith community on 
their 150th anniversary of such an amazing and special place.
  I would also like to thank Pastor Julie Bergdahl for her pastoral 
care and leadership.
