                        RECOGNIZING LEVI HAINES

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Penn 
State wrestler Levi Haines of Adams County, Pennsylvania, a two-time 
NCAA champion, a four-time All-American, and a four-time Big Ten 
Conference champ.
  At the NCAA championships this weekend, Levi captured his second 
title in his final collegiate match with a score of 2-1. The victory 
capped an undefeated 26-0 season for Levi.

  As the number one seed in the 174-pound class at the NCAA 
championships, Levi won five consecutive matches. He concluded his 
collegiate career with a record of 99-4.
  Levi's achievements were integral to Penn State's fifth--yes, I said 
fifth--consecutive NCAA championship for 13 of the past 16 years.
  A graduate of Biglerville High School, Levi is the son of Ken and 
Aimee Haines.
  On behalf of the constituents throughout Adams County and the entire 
13th Congressional District, I congratulate Levi. I congratulate his 
parents, Ken and Aimee, and his wife, Madelin, on his remarkable 
collegiate wrestling career and offer him best wishes for continued 
success.


                      Recognizing Mary Jo Casalena

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mary Jo 
Casalena as the recipient of the Wayne Bailey Lifetime Achievement 
Award that was presented at the annual convention of the National Wild 
Turkey Federation.
  This award recognizes a wildlife biologist, trapper, or wildlife 
manager who has devoted their career to the wild turkey and played a 
major role in the turkey's restoration and management.
  Mary Jo officially retired last October after working 33 years for 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including 32 years for the 
Pennsylvania Game Commission. She was Pennsylvania's wild turkey expert 
for 26 years.
  Mary Jo has noted that she wanted to speak up for wildlife since she 
was in the seventh grade. She has dedicated her career to working on 
the management and research of wild turkeys. She has been described as 
one of the most accomplished wild turkey managers of our time.
  I congratulate Mary Jo on this prestigious award, and I offer best 
wishes for joy and contentment in her retirement.


                  Honoring Lehman's Feed & Home Center

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lehman's Feed 
& Home Center of York Springs, Pennsylvania, for 90 years of success as 
a source of home and agricultural products for customers throughout 
Adams County and the surrounding area.
  Founded as Lehman's Feed Store in 1936 by J. Paul Lehman, the 
business originally focused on meeting the needs of the rural 
agricultural community through its feed mill and farm supplies. 
Lehman's also served as the local Purina dealer, supplying dairy and 
livestock feed to area farmers.
  J. Paul Lehman and two of his sons owned the business for 60 years 
before selling it to Allen Hartzell. By expanding the inventory and 
range of services, Allen transitioned the operation to a one-stop 
destination for rural and household products.
  I congratulate Allen Hartzell on this milestone anniversary and thank 
him for his continued efforts to support the agricultural industry in 
Adams County and beyond.


                       Honoring David Burket, Sr.

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life and agricultural legacy of David Burket, Sr., of East Freedom, 
Pennsylvania, who passed away earlier this month at his home on the 
family farm, where he was born.
  Married to his late wife, Betty, for 72 years, David dedicated his 
professional life to establishing and successfully operating Burket 
Falls Farm with Betty and their family.
  Over the years, thousands of visitors from over 40 different 
countries on six different continents were welcomed to the farm by the 
Burket family. The farm was recognized as one of the top 25 influential 
breeders in the world by Holstein International. David was recognized 
with numerous honors and awards.
  As we pause to remember David, we also keep his loved ones in our 
prayers. Please join with me in remembering the life and the 
professional achievements of David Burket, Sr.
