Congressional Record, Volume 169 Issue 156 (Tuesday, September 26, 2023) [Congressional Record Volume 169, Number 156 (Tuesday, September 26, 2023)] [House] [Page H4470] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING CARTER CRAWLEY ON RECEIVING CLEAN SCANS The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Ciscomani) for 5 minutes. Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible constituent of mine, 9-year-old Carter Crawley. Not only are Carter and his family constituents of mine, but I am also lucky to have coached Carter on my flag football team. Carter has been through some battles leading our team as quarterback, but earlier this year he encountered the biggest battle of his life and was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a cancer that affects the tissue around your joints. Well, I am excited to announce that just 3 weeks ago, following months of radiation and treatment, Carter received clean scans. I have had the privilege of being Carter's football coach for several seasons now, and it has been a high privilege of my life to watch him develop both as a player and as a leader. When it came time to tackle cancer, Carter kept a good sense of humor and bravery, and his team and I look forward to having him back on the field leading our team once again later this year. I also recognize his parents, Melissa and Kevin, and his 11-year-old sister, Emerson, for their strength and fortitude during this time. Additionally, I highlight Dr. De La Maza and her fellow doctors, nurses, and staff at Banner UMC, where Carter was treated. I am thrilled to share this incredible news on the House floor and can't wait to see Carter back on that field soon. Tucson Boulevard Diversion Structure Project Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Tucson Boulevard Diversion Structure project, which was named one of our Nation's top public works projects by the American Public Works Association. Pima County initiated this project to address the area's persistent sewer problem, which has plagued the community with sulfuric acid odor and a number of other issues. The outdated sewer was replaced with a new composite structure and a safe odor-free and corrosion-resistant system. The crews on this project worked 6 to 7 days a week and up to 16 hours a day, which allowed the project to be completed on time. This achievement would not have been possible without the organizations and companies who partnered together, including Pima County, Hunter Contracting, Dibble, and the APWA Arizona chapter. This project reflects the incredible impact strong partnerships have on the community. Congratulations to these awardees and all the well- deserved recognition on a job well done. ____________________
