Rep. Guillen announces Lone
Star dates, new services
AUSTIN- State
Representative Ryan Guillen, D-
Starr County, announced this
week that Texas Air and Army
National Guard Medics will
partner with the United States
Air Force School of Aerospace
Medicine to provide a new
aspect to Operation Lone Star
(OLS) in Starr County July 26
through Aug. 3.
Operation Lone Star is a Joint
Force medical mission to serve
several Rio Grande Valley
cities. All OLS operations are
under the approval and guidance
of Region 11, Texas
Department of State Health
Services (DSHS) as directed by
the Texas Adjutant General, Lt.
Gen. Charles Rodriguez.
"This annual exercise
provides much-needed medical
care to anyone who comes to the
clinics that are set up in Stan-
County. It helps hundreds of
families and provides valuable
training for our military and
state health professionals.
Because of this training, they
will be prepared for possible
future emergencies in any part
of the state, or the nation," Rep.
Guillen said.
Nancy Keene, DSHS nurse
assigned to Rio Grande City
Texas, coordinated with
regional. city and county
representatives to help launch
the pilot training project An
advance team of Air National
Guard and Air Force preventive
medicine specialists worked
closely with local health
authorities earlier this month to
target projects that bring lasting
value to the Greater Rio Grande
City area Health Authorities'
efforts to control disease and
improve community health for
the citizens.
"The data gathered in this one
week training project has the
potential to aid local health
authorities' long term support to
their communities. The shared
training opportunity for local
health departments. Air Force
and Army preventive medicine
professionals during OLS is
unique." said Texas Air National
Guard Col. Connie McNabb,
commander of the 149th
Medical Group in San Antonio.
In addition to medical
immunizations, health
screenings and dental care
routinely offered at all OLS
sites, the Rio Grande City
preventive medicine team will
look at a number of areas. They
will evaluate insect populations
that possibly carry disease and
provide recommendations for
authorities and citizens to reduce
the potential for children and
adults to be infected. Other
members of the team will work
with local agencies and offer
suggestions to improve an area
with drainage problems that
currently predisposes residents
to health problems.
"The preventive medicine
team will have physicians
specializing in public health,
environmental engineers, public
health officers, medical
entomologists and highly skilled
technicians in these areas. The
opportunity for all three Texas
Guard and Active Duty
organizations to partner with
local" authorities on this
community support effort is
unique and may become a
training and community support
platform for Operation Lone
Star missions in the future," said
McNabb.

finale! Many students and parents attended this great event. The Building Bridges program under the
direction of Mrs. Josie Amador is geared to educating three-year-olds at home in preparation for Pre-
Kinder. Special guests for this day were the ninth and 10th grade Research and Technical Writing

in several fun events for the three-year-olds that attended. The great event ended with a drawing for
five computers being held among the parents. The winners of the computers are: Esmeralda Barbosa,
North Grammar Elementary; Rene Benavidez, La Union Elementary; Beatriz Garcia llinojosa
Elementary; and Maria de los Angeles Garcia, Grulla Elementary. The parents are pictured with the

DARS seeking more clients for
brain, spinal cord rehab program
•: . .• : : MAY Jil. GRANTED
AUSTIN The increase in
funding from the state
legislature means more clients
will be served and the time
clients spend on the waiting list
will be greativ shortened. That
announcement came two weeks
ago from the Department of
Assistive and Rehabilitative
Services (DARS) in regards to
its Comprehensive
Rehabilitation Service (CRS)
program which assists Texans
with brain and spinal cord
injuries.
The CRS program provides
these services:
* Inpatient Comprehensive
Medical Rehabilitation A team
of qualified professionals
provides a variety of intensive
therapies, medical care and other
services to help individuals live
as independently as possible.
Services are provided on an
inpatient basis at an accredited
rehabilitation hospital.
* Outpatient Services
Rehabilitation Services for
occupational therapy, physical
therapy, speech therapy and
cognitive therapy may be
continued on an outpatient basis.
* Post-Acute Traumatic Brain
Injury Services These services
help an individual deal with
injury-related cognitive
difficulties such as memory loss
and/or inappropriate behaviors.
Eligible applicants of the CRS
program must have a traumatic
brain injury and/or spinal cord
injury that results in a
substantial impediment to
functioning independently.
There must also be a reasonable
expectation that the individual's
ability to function within the
family and/or community will
improve with the provision of
services. Applicants must also
be:
* at least 16 years of age when
services arc completed;
* a U.S. citizen or immigrant
alien of the United States and a
resident of Texas for at least six
months or have a family
member living in Texas for at
least six months who is or will
become, the applicant's primary
caregiver;
* sufficiently medically stable to
participate actively in a program
of services; and
* be willing to participate in
treatment.
DARS' CRS program
funding has been increased by
approximately S3 million per
year, making the overall funding
a total of $16 million for fiscal
year 2008 In 2007, CRS has
already served 562 clients and
expects to serve more before the
end of the fiscal year on August
31, 2007.
DARS encourages Texans
with brain or spinal cord injuries
and their families to apply for
the CRS program. This new
funding will mean consumers
applying for services will
experience greatly decreased
wait times.
Texans who wish to learn
more information or apply for
the Comprehensive
Rehabilitation Services program
or should contact the DARS

Trends
(NU) - Girl power: It's a
bu/./.word that is creeping into all
facets of popular culture. Now, it
has wafted into the fragrance
industry, in the form of Black
Widow perfume (www.black-
widow.net). Teenage girls and
young women are looking for
strong role models and products
that give them a feeling of
empowerment. World champion
billiard player Jeanette Lee and
world champion competitive
eater Sonya Thomas both go by
the nickname "the Black
Widow." And products like Black
Widow perfume add a touch of
fun to a fragrance market that
could use a little "girl power."
