                  RECOGNIZING THE DAILY SPARKS TRIBUNE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to extend my warmest 
congratulation to the Daily Sparks Tribune of Sparks, NV, on their 
historic milestone.
  The Daily Sparks Tribune is celebrated throughout Nevada for its 
first- class journalism, which continues this week for the 100th 
consecutive year.
  The Tribune has been in circulation since 1910, representing news of 
both Sparks, NV, and the greater State. In 1901, Senator Thomas A 
Kearns bought the newspaper, along with three other regional papers. 
The newspaper now circulates to over 5,000 businesses and homes in 
Nevada.
  The Nevada Press Association has honored the work of the Daily Sparks 
Tribune on many occasions for their outstanding investigatory, 
editorial, journalistic, photographic, and philanthropic 
accomplishments. In 2009 alone, the newspaper received 17 awards in the 
annual Nevada Press Association awards.
  Not only has the Daily Sparks Tribune provided Nevadans with a 
spectacular news source, but it has also become a central part of our 
community.
  I join with Nevadans throughout the Silver State to honor the Daily 
Sparks Tribune for its 100 years of circulation. It is one of Nevada's 
oldest community newspapers, and we wish it many more decades of 
success and readership.
