WHEREAS, Demonstrating maturity and composure in the face of |
|
|
an emergency, six members of the cross-country team of Coronado |
|
|
High School in El Paso helped to assist a local resident in |
|
|
distress; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On the morning of August 20, 2012, Chris Hernandez, |
|
|
Aryana Martinez, Karime Martinez, Rachel Schlinke, Tatiana |
|
|
Tarabulski, and Shanahan Vigil participated in a training run near |
|
|
their school; along the way, they heard faint cries for help from a |
|
|
house, and when Mr. Hernandez investigated, he discovered that |
|
|
resident Debra Whitcomb had fallen and broken her hip; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Quickly taking action, the team began knocking on |
|
|
the doors of neighboring homes to find help; after 9-1-1 had been |
|
|
called, the students worked to keep Ms. Whitcomb comfortable until |
|
|
paramedics arrived to transport her to the hospital; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The compassion and sound judgment these students |
|
|
demonstrated under pressure proved essential in helping a woman in |
|
|
dire need, and their actions are indeed deserving of special |
|
|
recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the members of the Coronado High School |
|
|
cross-country team who came to the aid of an injured member of their |
|
|
community and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
