Throughout her life, Mrs. Adams has had a passion for writing. She is well known for her love of poems, many of which have been pub-lished. She also shares her poems with family and friends for funerals, class reunions, and family reunions. Currently she is working on a book about her mother’s life, which she hopes to have published. This love of writing led Mrs. Adams to ex-plore another area of teaching and in 1987 she took over the Richland School District One Writing Lab at Eau Claire High School. For 5 years, she enjoyed sharing her love of writing with students; however, the tug of young children soon pulled her back to her roots in the Headstart program. In 1992, Mrs. Adams became the center co-ordinator/teacher at the Lexington Headstart Center. She remained in that capacity until earlier this month when she officially retired after an amazing career in education. Throughout her career, Doretha Adams has enjoyed the support of her family, husband George N. Adams and their three children. Today she has four grandsons and a great grandson. She has also been guided through life by her faith. Mrs. Adams has been a member of First Nazareth Baptist Church for more than 50 years and serves on the Senior Missionary Society. She is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the Ladies Auxiliary Club at the VFW Post 4262. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mrs. Doretha Adams for her dedication to and love for edu-cation. She has been a wonderful role model and good influence on countless young lives, and I offer her best wishes and God speed upon her retirement. f IN HONOR OF THE 100TH ANNIVER-SARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE TOWN OF MONMOUTH BEACH HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR. OF NEW JERSEY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, May 25, 2006 Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 100th anniversary of the founding of the town of Monmouth Beach. Monmouth Beach is a town in my district that lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Shrewsbury River. Monmouth Beach was originally part of Shrewsbury Township, which was formed in October 1693. The borough be-came part of Ocean Township in 1849. While the town remains mostly residential, it has a tourism industry that dates back as early as 1842. One of the oldest and most unique buildings in town, the Church of Precious Blood, is a unique Monmouth Beach landmark. This 110- year-old structure was built by local ship-builders to resemble an upside-down ship. The town once included the flourishing Gal-ilee fishing community. Fishermen in the com-munity sold most of their catches to merchants at New York City’s historic Fulton Fish Market. At one time, this community and the sur-rounding area housed the largest pound boat fishing industry along the U.S. coast. This beautiful shore community was incor-porated on March 9, 1906, when it seceded from Ocean Township. Monmouth Beach is a small town, encompassing only one square mile, but it offers beautiful white sand beaches and friendly year round residents as part of its charm. The town’s beaches offer some of the best fishing opportunities in the country. Monmouth Beach began its centennial cele-bration on May 19, 2006 and residents will continue to celebrate this special event throughout the year. The celebration includes an exhibit of historical artifacts from the town of Monmouth Beach and original artwork from the many talented artists who reside in Mon-mouth Beach. On May 21, 2006, the Mon-mouth Beach Police Department also cele-brated its 100th birthday. I commend this fine institution for its service to the community of Monmouth Beach. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent the citizens of Monmouth Beach and join with them in celebrating the centennial. Therefore, I rise today to honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of Monmouth Beach.  HONORING CAPTAIN BRIAN D. KELLY HON. C.A. DUTCH RUPPERSBERGER OF MARYLAND IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, May 25, 2006 Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to honor Captain Brian D. Kelly, chief of the Office of Command and Control in the Operations Directorate at U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters. Over the years, Captain Kelly has served his country to the best of his ability and deserves recognition for his leadership. Captain Kelly started his career with a solid foundation. He attended two fine institutions, which provided him with the proper education, training, and skills he would later need to suc-ceed in the United States Coast Guard. With a B.S. in government, he graduated in 1982 from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Several years later, he attended the U.S. Naval Post-graduate School where he earned an M.S. in management. The formal training he received certainly played an integral role in Captain Kelly’s success. In his current role in the Office of Command and Control, Captain Kelly was charged with the task of running the Coast Guard’s Com-mand Center, as well as the National Re-sponse Center. His contributions to this de-partment have been exceptional. Everyday he works with his team to protect and serve the citizens of the United States. The post 9–11 world we live in has changed the way our servicemen and women work to protect America. A top priority has been to en-sure our Coast Guard has the proper training they need to protect this great Nation. In 2002–2003 Captain Kelly served as a Federal Executive Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Through this pro-gram, Captain Kelly worked on a number of initiatives which included Iraqi post-conflict re-construction; national security simulation exer-cises; Smart Border North; and the CSIS Mili-tary Strategy. The knowledge he gained through these programs greatly impacted the way he executed future directives. The Coast Guard is an extremely well run and managed Federal agency. These are the people who ensure our ports and waterways are secure. They also spearhead any water emergency efforts. In addition, the Coast Guard was instrumental in the Katrina relief ef-fort; lives were saved because of their profes-sionalism, perseverance and courage. It is such a great agency because of leaders like CPT Brian D. Kelly. Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join with me today to honor CPT Brian D. Kelly. He is a re-markable leader and has served his country well. I look forward to working with him in the future. Welcome to Sector Baltimore, Captain. f TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL M. ADLER, PRESIDENT OF THE GREATER MIAMI JEWISH FEDERATION HON. KENDRICK B. MEEK OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, May 25, 2006 Mr. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Michael M. Adler, who today concludes his two-year term as President of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, marking 30 years of dedicated service to the Federation and the community. Michael Adler’s connection to Miami is strong, and for him, community involvement is a family affair. He has the distinction of being Federation’s only second-generation president, following in the footsteps of his father, the late Samuel I. Adler, who held the position from 1984 to 1986. For two years prior to being elected President of Federation, Michael served as the General Campaign Chair for the Federation/United Jewish Appeal Campaign, which raises more than $22 million annually for much-needed services in Miami, Israel and in almost 60 countries around the world. Michael has also served on and chaired nu-merous committees as part of his service to Federation. Along with his wife, Judy, he was a founding member of the Young Adults Divi-sion, chairing it from 1975 to 1977, and was later Chairman of the National Young Leader-ship Cabinet. In addition to his Federation ac-tivities, he has also served as President of Temple Emanu-el on Miami Beach from 1995 to 1998. Over the years Michael has received many awards and honors for his involvement, including the UJA’s Herbert H. Lehman Award for Distinguished Service, and the Federation’s prestigious Stanley C. Myers Presidents’ Leadership Award. His successes extend far beyond his activi-ties in the Jewish community. He is Chairman and CEO of the Adler Group, one of South Florida’s largest and most successful real es-tate companies, and he has been involved with several successful business ventures in Israel, working closely with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon when Sharon served as Israel’s Housing Minister, to oversee the construction of new homes for immigrant families. Michael is also active in the political com-munity, founding NACPAC, a local pro-Israel action committee. He now serves as Chair of the Jewish Democratic Council’s Political Ac-tion Committee, and is very active in the Democratic Party. Our entire community owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Michael Adler for all that VerDate Aug 31 2005 02:32 May 27, 2006 Jkt 049060 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 0626 Sfmt 9920 E:\CR\FM\A25MY8.079 E26MYPT1jcorcoran on PROD1PC62 with REMARKS
