Farm Bureau Endorses
Sharp For Lt. Governor
WACO - The Texas Farm
Bureau Friends of Agriculture Fund
(AGFUND), Inc. has endored John
Sharp, Democrat, in the race for
Texas lieutenant governor.
“John Sharp's record as a state
legislator, Texas railroad commis-
sioner and state comptroller reflect
his grasp of key issues facing agri-
culture and Texas as a whole, and
demonstrate his ability to imple-
ment sound policies to address
them." said Donald Patman, presi-
dent of the Texas Farm Bureau and
Texas Farm Bureau Friends of
Agriculture Fund (AGFUND), Inc.
“Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND is
proud to endorse John Sharp for
Texas lieutenant governor.”
A native of Placedo in Victoria
County, John Sharp earned his BA
from Texas A&M University in
1972 and received a masters degree
in Public Administration from
Southwest Texas State University in
1976. He served as second lieu-
tenant in the U.S. Army Reserve.
A licensed real estate broker by
trade, Sharp was elected to the
Texas House of Representatives in
1978 and the Texas Senate in 1982.
In 1986, he was elected to the
Texas Railroad Commission, where
he helped reform the state's truck-
ing regulations, improve railroad
safety and develop new markets for
Texas natural gas. Sharp’s tenure as
Texas comptroller of public
accounts, which began in 1991, was
marked by creative thinking that
improved the efficiency and effec-
tiveness of government programs,
from the Texas Tomorrow Fund,
which allows parents to lock in
today’s prices for their kids’ future
college education, to the Lone Star
Card, an ATM-type card replacing
the old paper food stamp system, to
the Texas Performance Review, an
ongoing performance audit of state
government. Sharp compiled this
impressive record while returning
$10 million in unspent ftinds to the
state treasury.
AGFUND is Texas Farm
Bureau’s political action fund. It is a
legal entity separate from the Texas
Farm Bureau and may endorse and
contribute financially to political
candidates. AGFUND is funded by
voluntary contributions from TFB
members.

GRILLING OUTDOORS
SAFELY
Outdoor grilling is a popular
way to prepare food during warmer
weather while enjoying the company
of family and friends. However,
grilling does "open the door" to
foodborne illness if proper
cleanliness and preparation
measures are not followed. Also,
excessive smoke and charring may
be unhealthy and should be avoided.
To keep your cookout a fond
memory rather than a regretful
experience, follow these simple
steps.
FOOD PREPARATION:
1. Select fresh meat, poultry, or
seafood that is high quality for best
cooking results.
2. Keep these perishable products
at 40 F or colder until immediately
before grilling. Thaw frozen foods
in the refrigerator or defrost in
microwave and immediately place
on grill.

GRILLING TIPS
To prevent heavy smoking or
charring of food and less smoke in
your eyes follow these tips:
1. Choose low-fat meats or trim
excess fat before grilling.
2. Precook meat in the microwave
or by boiling to release juices that
may cause flare-ups. DO not
interrupt cooking. Immediately
transfer precooked food to the grill
to finish cooking and provide
"cookout" flavor.
3. Avoid high-fat marinades or
basting sauces.
4. Cover grill with aluminum foil.
Punch holes between grids to
remove juices.
5. To decrease heavy smoke from
dripping fat, rearrange the food to
another place on the grill, rotate the
grill, or decrease the heat.
6. Cook meat until done but not
charred. Remove charred or
burned material from the food and
discard. DO NOT EAT
CHARRED OR BURNED PIECES!

Houston Show Presents Scholarships
It was fitting that the inaugural
Houston Livestock Show and
Rodeo event in the new Reliant
Center was one of the Show’s most
important evenings of the year - the
Houston Livestock Show and
Rodeo Scholarship Banquet. During
the festivities on May 23, Houston
area students walked away with $3
million in scholarship awards.
The 300 high school seniors hon-
ored at the banquet each were
rewarded with a four-year, $10,000
scholarship from three of the
Show’s scholarship programs.
“Making a difference in the life
of one young man or woman is an
incredible opportunity, but we have
multiplied that by 300 with our
Metropolitan, Opportunity and
School Art scholarships,” said Mike
Wells, president of the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo. “The
best investment that we can make
for the future is providing for the
education of our state’s young peo-
ple.”
The Metropolitan scholarship
program is the largest of the Show’s
educational programs. These schol-
arships are awarded to students in
Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend,
Galveston, Harris, Liberty,
Montgomery-and Waller counties
based on academic achievement,
leadership, community involvement
and financial need.
The Opportunity scholarships
are based on academic achievement,
leadership and community involve-
ment, and place more emphasis on
financial need than the Metropolitan
awards. More than 1,100 students
from Brazoria, Chambers, Fort
Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty,
Montgomery and Waller counties
applied for the 100 scholarships.
In order to be eligible for a
School Art scholarship, applicants
must have achieved Best of Show,
Gold Medal, Special Merit or Gold
Star Finalist status at the district
level in the Show’s School Art
Program. These scholarship recipi-
ents must demonstrate the same
academic achievement and leader-
ship as Metropolitan and
Opportunity winners.
In addition to the Metropolitan,
Opportunity and School Art schol-
arships, the Show’s current annual
commitment of $8.5 million
includes four-year, $10,000 scholar-
ships through the Texas 4-H, FFA,
and Family, Career and Community
Leaders of America programs; Area
Go Texan scholarships ranging from
$2,500 to $10,000; graduate and
doctoral fellowships; scholarship
endowments; research grants at 10
Texas colleges and universities; and
support of educational programs
such as the Rodeo Institute for
Teacher Excellence
The Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo is a 501(c)(3) education-
al charity with a mission to benefit
youth and support education. Since
its beginning with a single scholar-
ship in 1957, the Show’s education-
al program has committed in excess
of $85 million to the youth of Texas.
For every Dad out there!
