82. Texas Family Physician Becoming involved in TAFP’s legislative program will help ensure family The texas Academy of family Physicians Political Action Committee speaks on http://www.tafp.org/TFP/OND2004/legup.htm

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Looking Ahead Academy sets priorities for next Texas Legislature By Tom Banning How Can I Help? The 79th Texas Legislature, which convenes Jan. 11, 2005, will be addressing a number of issues important to family physicians including sunset of the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners, property tax reform, Medicaid and CHIP funding, graduate medical education and public health initiatives, among others. Physician of the Day Program TAFP is proud to again sponsor the physician of the day program for the 79th Texas Legislature. This will mark the 33rd year of the program. The family physician of the day works in a primary care clinic located in the Capitol extension and treats anyone sick or injured on the Capitol grounds. Family physicians of the day are introduced on the House and Senate floors, by the legislator from the district in which they practice and their names become part of the official legislative record. Family physicians have volunteered their time and services since 1971 for every regular and special session of the Texas Legislature. We are excited to once again announce that the TAFP will offer Texas medical students an opportunity to do a preceptorship with the Physician of the Day. The goal is to expose Texas medical students to the broad scope of family medicine.

This figure accounts for well over 50 percent of all Texans killed in crashes annually. An additional 70,000 persons are injured in rural settings, accounting for 20 percent of all persons injured in crashes in Texas. A major factor contributing to these alarming statistics is the low rate of seat belt use in rural areas compared with urban regions of the state.

TEXAS Grant (Towards EXcellence, Access and Success) The Texas Legislature established the TEXAS (Towards EXcellence, Access and Success) Grant to make sure that deserving high school graduates with financial need could go to college. The TEXAS Grant, in combination with other aid, pays tuition and fees at the state's public colleges and universities. Type of Institution Average Tuition and Fees Community College Public Technical College State College (Lamar) Public University Annual average tuition and fees for a single student taking 15 semester credit hours, Fall and Spring semesters. You apply for the TEXAS Grant when you complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Funding is limited, so you need to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 of your senior year. Because they are using funds from a number of sources to help as many students as possible, the financial aid office at each college and university that you list on the FAFSA will determine if TEXAS Grant is part of that aid package that is offered to you. Consequently, you may qualify for a TEXAS Grant but receive other types of financial aid such as the federal Pell Grant, instead. Aid packages will vary among institutions. Eligibility Requirements for an Initial Award Be a Texas resident.

The Lewis family farm s name will now live in history, forever, http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/news/thisweek/2004/040414/txlewiswrp.html

NRCS Home About Us News ... Contact Us Search National NRCS All NRCS Sites for News News Releases NRCS This Week Fact Sheets ... Centers and Institutes Wetlands Reserve Program to Benefit Family Farm in Texas The Lewis family farm's name will now live in history, forever, due to the recent approval by NRCS to have 20 acres on the farm accepted into the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). The farm, located in eastern Hopkins County, was started in 1940 as a Grade B dairy, but now, the second generation owner, Harry Lewis, is converting the Grade A milking operation to an organic dairy. Lewis also raises hay and organic vegetables. He and wife Billie keep a few horses around for riding and breeding. Lewis has long been an advocate for family farmers, and having about one-seventh of the farm's total acreage designated as a wetlands is something he feels is positive for the area's ag producers. "Many of the lands in this area are owned by family farmers, and this can keep politicians and (big industry) from coming in and doing something you don't like, like dumping into the creek," he said. The wetlands area on Lewis' property is adjacent to Rock Creek, which collects water that drains from the city of Sulphur Springs, and carries it to a larger tributary, White Oak Creek. Because of the city's continued growth, and added drainage ways, the creek's water flow has increased.
