                   IN HONOR OF MAYOR ELWOOD L. MALICK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 22, 2009

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor an exemplary 
citizen, someone who has served the people of Spring Lake Heights and 
my state of New Jersey with distinction--Mayor Elwood L. Malick. He is 
being recognized as the 2009 Citizen of the Year by The Greater Spring 
Lake Chamber of Commerce for the exceptional work he has performed in 
his community.
  Mayor Malick served as mayor of the Borough of Spring Lake Heights 
from 2004 to 2009. Located on the Jersey Shore, Spring Lake Heights is 
considered one of New Jersey's best places to live, with a vibrant and 
small beachside community. In his position, Mayor Malick has helped 
Spring Lake Heights continue to thrive as a vibrant town with acclaimed 
picturesque views and a tight-knit community. Under his leadership, 
Spring Lake Heights has become a welcoming summer escape for thousands 
of visitors every year.
  Mayor Malick has served on the governing body of Spring Lake Heights 
for 31 years, 26 as a member of the Borough Council, 13 as council 
president, and the last five as mayor. Beyond his dedicated service in 
government, Mayor Malick has served as a model school teacher for over 
20 years. His dedication to education is commendable, though his 
commitment to community service extends outside the classroom. As a 
coach of Little League and high school basketball, Mayor Malick has 
touched the lives of young students in many meaningful ways.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Mayor Malick on his award, 
and I wish him the best as he opens a new chapter in his life. His 
example will continue to inspire us all and visitors will continue to 
enjoy their visits to Spring Lake Heights as a result of his 
accomplishments.
