WHEREAS, The Starr County Town Crier is marking its 25th |
|
|
anniversary in 2011, and this occasion provides a fitting |
|
|
opportunity to recognize founder Lino Canales, Jr., for his |
|
|
achievements; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On January 1, 1986, Mr. Canales and his wife, Becky |
|
|
Canales, published the first issue of the Town Crier; its office was |
|
|
originally located on East Highway 83 in Rio Grande City, and in |
|
|
1992 it moved to its current location on Norris Street; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The newspaper began with a weekly circulation of |
|
|
10,000; in 2008, it reached 15,000, and the publication today has |
|
|
the largest circulation of any newspaper in Starr County; home |
|
|
delivery has enabled the paper to reach a larger audience, and it |
|
|
attracts readers with special editions for Christmas, the county |
|
|
fair, and high school graduations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Canales enjoys the support |
|
|
and encouragement of his wife, Becky, and four children, Lino |
|
|
Canales III, Marisela Garcia, Jorge Eduardo Canales, and Javier |
|
|
Hernan Canales, as well as five grandchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Newspapers play a vital role in our communities, and |
|
|
through his stewardship of the Starr County Town Crier, Lino |
|
|
Canales has greatly benefited his fellow citizens; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor Lino Canales, Jr., |
|
|
for his contributions to Starr County and extend to him sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Canales as an expression of high regard by the |
|
