                         Monday, March 14, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the Lewisville 
Television Channel 15, LVTV, broadcasting from the 26th Congressional 
District of Texas, for winning two Telly Awards.
  The Telly Awards ``honor outstanding local, regional, and cable 
television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and 
film productions.'' For 26 years now, the Telly Awards have trying to 
do their part to support the visual arts in local communities. The 
Telly Awards encourage a very diverse field of applicants and try to 
distinguish themselves as an award of broad creativity.
  Each award was for a LVTV-produced program. The first award was 
presented for Lewisville North High School's re-enactment of a Driving 
While Intoxicated (DWI) called ``Deadly Decisions: Controlled 
Substance.'' The second winning program was for a ``Community 
Comments'' episode on the West Nile Virus. ``Community Comments'' is an 
interview-styled program filmed by students from

the LISD Dale Jackson Career Center, produced by Calvin Dorsey.
  LVTV has done a superb job of representing their community and 
involving students in promoting visual arts. I am proud of Lewisville 
and LVTV Channel 15 who continue to keep their public up-to-date on 
hometown news and to provide quality family entertainment.
