  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.
