2015 Newsletter 08.28.15.Pdf

Issue 7 August 2015 NEWSLETTER Dear Friends, Thank you to everyone who came out to our Post- Session Legislative Town Hall last month. Nearly 50 people attended and we had a great discussion about the issues and legislation that we worked on during the 84th Legislative Session. There were a lot of great questions and I hope to hear from more of you in the interim as we continue our work. Even though the next regular session of the Texas Legislature reconvenes in January 2017, my staff and I have not stopped working for you. This month, we helped our kids and families prepare for another school year at two community events in Rep. Wu volunteers at the Back to School event at PlazAmericas the District: the WalMart Back To School Health by distributing clothes and supplies to kids. Fair hosted at the Baker Ripley Neighborhood Center, and the Annual Back to School Drive, Health Fair and Business Expo hosted at PlazAmericas Mall. These events helped thousands by providing free supplies, resources, and support to families in need. We have also been following a number of important issues, including: reviewing jail standards, safety, and reform; ensuring birth certificates for U.S. citizen children; and the impact of Medicaid reimbursement rate cuts in acute care therapy services. Recent stories at the national, state, and local level have also prompted me to release public statements to advocate on behalf our communities. Please enjoy the seventh edition of our E-Newsletter.

“TONY” MARTINO by Froggy Williams

The Cornerstone FALL 2003 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE RICE HISTORICAL SOCIETY VOL. 8, NO. 4 SALVATORE “TONY” MARTINO By Froggy Williams How in the world did Tony Martino manage to become a double legend at the Rice Institute between 1916 and 1953? It would be difficult to set out to locate a less likely candidate. He was an immigrant from Italy, could not speak nor write one word of English upon his arrival for his second try at immigration in 1908. Despite these impediments, he became, at least regionally, famous for his ability to plant trees, bushes, and anything else that would grow in the Gulf Coast plains of Texas. His second legendary status was as the revered speaker at student-led pep rallies, particularly in the fall of the year and usually before some “Big Game” opponents on the gridiron. Stay with our story and we will lead you to at least some of the answers. ony Martino was born on the island of Sicily on August 21, T1885, in the small town of Alia. Tony was one of eight children. At the time Italy was still a monarchy; the king was Umberto I. Tony was enrolled in school and went through what we would call the fifth grade. In 1896, at the age of eleven, he was sent as an apprentice to Tony “a real campus favorite” and his brother Florence, Italy, to study horticulture. He was in the apprentice program Catholic Church.

After a long period of uncertainty, major new education and civic projects, that are transforming the area will be constructed over the next few years. HBU Expansion Houston Baptist University, located immediately north of the Brays Oaks District, is starting construction on a major expansion and redevelopment project that is expected to have a huge impact on Southwest Houston. Infrastructure for the project will be funded with the help of Chapter 380 financing by the recently enlarged TIRZ 20 and the City of Houston. The initial phase of the project calls for the extension of the dead end street, “the road to nowhere,” off Highway 59. This street will connect with the campus street network at an attractive fountain-centered circle drive. Subsequent phases include remodeling of the former Wellness Center to house all athletic offices and a new fitness facility to be called the Bradshaw Fitness Center. To the north of this building, plans call for construction of a 6,000-seat basketball arena and special event center. At the south corner of Highway 59 and Fondren, the aging 25- acre shopping center, often called the “Loehman’s Center,” will be redeveloped as a beautifully landscaped mixed-use complex that will include upscale retail space, restaurant space, professional office space, the HBU graduate school, and student housing.

53 Academics

O-Week Jones College The Rice Experience 53 Academics University Resources Wellness & Diversity Student Life Student Houston and Beyond Academics Academic Advising Your next four years at Rice will be an incredible experience, but you have to get an education at some point, right? Switching from a high school to a college curriculum can be kind of a scary transition, but have no fear! Rice has a number of well-trained faculty, staff and students to help you with your academic transition. A lot of your initial questions will be answered during O-Week, through presentations and academic planning sessions, in time for you to register for classes during orientation week. There is a list of people that are available for your entire career at Rice. They are a great resource and can really help you succeed in your first year and beyond. Divisional Advisors During O-Week, you will have a chance to meet with a faculty advisor within your school of interest, which you designated on your academic questionnaire this summer. He or she will give you general guidance with- in your division of study. These faculty advisors are a great resource for questions on academic rules, regulations and policies, general graduation requirements, campus resources, current educational opportunities for students, course planning, major considerations, study abroad, and other Rice and non-Rice opportunities. Your divisional advisor doesn’t serve as a resource only during O-Week, though. You can continue to meet with your divisional advisor after O-Week and even after you decide on a major. Plus, these advisors are associates at Jones, which means they often come hang out at the college at lunch or during Associates Night.
