A senate RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE The twin-city news UPON THE OCCASION 
OF ITS one hundredth ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND the twin-city news FOR ITS MANY 
YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE batesburg-leesville COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE 
AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize The Twin-City News as it 
celebrates this important milestone; and

Whereas, The Twin-City 
News is a weekly newspaper serving the Batesburg-Leesville community. 
Established in 1925, The Twin-City News is the oldest continuously operating 
business in Batesburg-Leesville; and

Whereas, The Twin-City 
News primarily covers local news, as well as news from nearby areas such as 
Gilbert and Monetta, with minimal national or international coverage; and

Whereas, Sara and 
Douglas Bruner were the original owners of The Twin-City News. The paper is 
considered Batesburg-Leesville's oldest continuously operating business; and

Whereas, in July 2014, the 
grandson of Sara and Douglas, Trey Bruner, and his wife, Leah, took over 
ownership of the paper. In September 2014, the first paper under Trey and 
Leah's leadership was printed. Leah became editor and layout designer of the 
paper from 2014 until 2021. Theresa Shealy, office manager of the paper, was a 
vital employee and worked for over fifty years for the Bruner family before 
retiring in January 2024; and

Whereas, in 2014, The 
Twin-City News won the Batesburg-Leesville Chamber of Commerce Small Business 
of the Year Award. Recently, the newspaper was awarded the first place 
Community Service Award for 2024 from the S.C. Press Association for coverage 
during Hurricane Helene; and

Whereas, in January 
2024, The Twin-City News acquired the Saluda Standard Sentinel in neighboring 
Saluda County. Today, the newspaper prints weekly and offers the printed 
edition as well as an e-edition, which was instituted in December 2014; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of 
The Twin-City News staff to serving the people and the State of South 
Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate The 
Twin-City News upon the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary and commend The 
Twin-City News for its many years of dedicated service to the Batesburg-Leesville 
community and the people and the State of South Carolina.
