  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Steve Culver 
of St. Joseph, Missouri. Steve is a St. Joseph native who has been an 
instrumental member of the community for many years. Not only is he a 
successful business owner, but also a volunteer, father, husband, and 
well respected individual in his community.
  Steve was employed with Western Dairy and Leo Robertson Tire Company 
before buying into Midland Bottling Company, which he co-owned for 26 
years. He is currently President of Recycling Corporation. Steve has 
generously volunteered his time to many organizations including the 
Aviation Board and Citizens Crime Commission for the City of St. 
Joseph, American Cancer Society, United Cerebral Palsy, Nodaway Valley 
Bank, and Missouri Western State University Foundation. Steve also 
founded both the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Heart of America 
Chili Challenge in St. Joseph.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Steve 
Culver for his accomplishments and his desire to enhance the lives of 
others in his community.
