RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF DR. SAM SHULTZ
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Arkansas (Mr. Hill) for 5 minutes.
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Sam Shultz for
his 40 years of service to Arkansas children at the Arkansas Children's
Hospital in Little Rock. As a former member of the Children's Hospital
Board of Directors, it is a special pleasure for me to recognize Dr.
Shultz for his recognition as a champion for Arkansas children.
He mentored and taught many of our pediatricians who are currently
practicing in Arkansas. Throughout his career, Dr. Shultz worked with
the Arkansas State Department of Health and the Department of
Pediatrics to hold clinics in rural areas of our State. These clinics
were primarily for children with health complications whose families
had trouble traveling to Little Rock.
He also assisted in writing various Arkansas public health
regulations, such as checking newborns for thyroid conditions and also
increasing the number of nurses in our schools.
After decades of service to our Nation's youth, Dr. Shultz retired
earlier this year. My congratulations on an incredible career, and best
wishes for his future pursuits.
Recognizing the Service of Mr. Tom Foti
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of a man
who has had an indelible impact on conservation and preservation
throughout Arkansas, Mr. Tom Foti. Tom is retiring at the end of this
month, after serving as the Arkansas National Heritage Commission's
senior ecologist for over 2 decades.
Tom dedicated his life to answering the call to serve the outdoors.
From
[[Page H5027]]
publishing ``The Natural Divisions of Arkansas'' to giving numerous
educational programs for schools and the general public, he lived his
life to serve our Natural State.
In 1976, he became the director of Arkansas Ecology Center, the
organization he had volunteered for as a youth.
Tom's service to the State of Arkansas and to the environmental
conservation area will never be forgotten, and I join all Arkansans in
congratulating my friend Tom on a remarkable career and a well-deserved
retirement.
Mount Vernon-Enola High School Cybersecurity Team
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Mount Vernon-
Enola High School cybersecurity team for their second place win in the
Air Force Association's National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.
I would also like to personally recognize Catherine Holland, who is
the STEM teacher, and introduced the program to the school.
{time} 1215
The CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education Program was created
in 2009 by the Air Force Association, to motivate students toward
careers in cybersecurity. This is the first year the school has had a
team in the competition.
The team consisted of five students: Lincoln Collins, Ty Wilson,
Chandler Honeycutt, Gavin Harper, and Maddock Davis. The group was 1 of
5,584 teams that registered for the competition. The group showed
dedication to the competition by practicing in the afternoons and on
Saturdays.
I congratulate Mount Vernon-Enola High School's team and wish them
much continued success in the years to come, both in school and in
their future careers.
Recognizing the Accomplishments of Stacy McAdoo
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and recognize the accomplishments
of Stacy McAdoo, a speech communications teacher at Little Rock Central
High School.
Stacy was recently named the Little Rock School District 2018 Teacher
of the Year. In addition to teaching communications, Ms. McAdoo
coordinates the important college readiness program, designed to help
all students develop the skills they need to be successful in college.
As a result of her hard work, Stacy was also awarded the Marian G.
Lacey Educator of the Year Award, a top award within the Little Rock
School District.
Stacy McAdoo's commitment to education is one all Americans and
Arkansans can admire. I am proud to represent her and all of the
teachers of central Arkansas who are making a difference in the lives
of our young people.
