WHEREAS, The sixth biennial Texas Capitol Schoolhouse event provides an excellent opportunity for legislators and the public to observe firsthand how students are utilizing and integrating technology in learning and how technology in the public schools today is helping to prepare the children of Texas for the 21st century; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 79th Legislature, hereby commend the sponsors of the sixth biennial Texas Capitol Schoolhouse event for providing the state with this invaluable educational experience; and, be it further

SENATE RESOLUTION 52
Senator Staples offered the following resolution:
WHEREAS, Peggy Howland, the administrator for Cartmell Home for Aged in Palestine, has made significant contributions to the improvement of elderly care in the Lone Star State with her role in creating an important new feeding assistant program for nursing home residents; and
WHEREAS, The feeding assistant program was designed to allow trained volunteers or paid employees, including members of the public, volunteers, retirees, and auxiliary staff, to help with mealtimes at the Cartmell Home, freeing certified nursing assistants to have more time for direct patient care; and
WHEREAS, Conceived by Ms. Howland, the program benefited from the input of two registered nurses at Cartmell who wrote the first training curriculum as well as from collaboration with the faculty of the School of Nursing at The University of Texas at Tyler and recommendations from the Texas Department of Human Services Region 4 staff in Tyler; and
Monday, January 31, 2005 SENATE JOURNAL 115
WHEREAS, An exemplary model for all nursing home facilities, the Cartmell Home's program quickly attracted the attention of other professional groups in the Lone Star State, including the Texas Healthcare Association and the Texas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging; licensed for use in nursing home facilities throughout this state, this outstanding program found further support at the federal level, and in late 2003 the U.S. Congress approved the program to be used in other states; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Howland has demonstrated innovation and dedication to help improve the quality of life for our senior citizens, and this admirable achievement will surely inspire many to become involved in this and other worthwhile programs designed to benefit the elderly; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 79th Texas Legislature hereby honor Peggy Howland for the creation of the feeding assistant program at the Cartmell Home for Aged and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success with her important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms.iHowland as an expression of high regard by the Texas Senate.
SR 52 was read and was adopted without objection.
