TEXAS TRIPLES U.S. JOB GROWTH RATE IN APRIL

Office of the Texas Governor- Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated the strength of the growing Texas workforce and diverse Texas economy following the release of employment numbers showing Texas tripled the monthly job growth rate of the U.S., adding 42,600 non-farm jobs in April. Texas also leads the nation for jobs added over the last 12 months.

“Texas grew jobs at three times the rate of the U.S. in April thanks to the strength of our skilled and growing workforce and the best business climate in the nation,” said Governor Abbott. “Despite economic pressures at the national level, Texas employers are innovating, adapting, and growing in diverse industries across our

great state. Of all the top rankings for Texas, one matters most: More Texans are working than ever before, and that means more opportunity for more Texas families to prosper. With continuing, critical investments in education, infrastructure, and workforce development, we are working together to build a bigger, better Texas for decades to come.”

Texas again smashed all previous historic highs for total jobs, the number of Texans working, and the size of the Texas labor force. April employment data released by the Texas Workforce Commission and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows:

Texas reaches a new high with the largest labor force ever in the state’s history at 15,226,800.

Texas reaches a new high for Texans

working, including self-employed, at 14,623,300.

Texas reaches a new high for total jobs at 14,159,000 after adding 42,600 non-farm jobs and tripling the monthly job growth rate of the U.S. in April.

Texas added 306,000 jobs from April 2023 to April 2024, the most in the nation.

April marked job growth in Texas for 46 of the last 48 months.

Through April, Texas has added more than 2.35 million jobs under Governor Abbott’s leadership.

Earlier this month, Governor Abbott also celebrated Small Business Week in Texas and the crucial role small business owners and entrepreneurs play in our state’s thriving jobs economy.

EDINBURG EXCELS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 AUDIT

Edinburg, TX— The City of Edinburg has released its Fiscal Year 2022-2023 audit findings conducted by auditing firm Cascos & Associates. The audit results highlight the city’s robust financial management and adherence to sound fiscal practices, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and accountability.

The audit report affirms that the City of Edinburg has received unmodified opinions, the highest level of assurance an entity can achieve across key financial areas, including basic financial statements, internal controls over financial reporting, and compliance for each major program. This recognition underscores the city’s dedication to maintaining high financial integrity and governance standards.

One of the standout achievements of the audit is the City’s Unassigned Fund Balance as of September 30, 2023, which stands at an impressive $24 million. This substantial balance signifies a favorable financial position, representing 30.6% of

the operating expenditures. More significantly, it translates to 112 days of operations available and unassigned, far surpassing the benchmarks outlined in the City’s budget policy of 25% or 90 days. This robust fund balance underscores Edinburg’s prudent financial management and ability to weather unforeseen challenges while maintaining essential services for its residents.

Furthermore, the overall governmental fund balances have shown remarkable strength, totaling $73.5 million. This reflects the City’s diligent efforts in managing its resources effectively and responsibly.

In addition to the healthy financial indicators, the audit confirms that departmental expenditures remained within budgetary constraints, further demonstrating the City’s commitment to fiscal discipline and accountability at all levels of governance.

The City of Edinburg remains dedicated to maintaining strong financial stewardship and looks forward to building upon these achievements in the future.

South Texas College Electrician Technology student David Botello says he is eager to see what the future holds.

Recently graduated with an Electrician Assistant Certificate, Botello said he earned it less than a year since he began Electrician Technology courses at STC as a “blank slate,”

with no prior experience in the field, now he looks forward to pursuing an Electrician Technology Associate of Applied Science.

STC celebrates Fire Academy’s 33rd Class FROM RANCHES TO POWER LINES

South Texas College Fire Academy has dedicated more than a decade to shaping hundreds of noble and skilled professionals. It remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence in firefighting education, continually expanding its resources.

With cutting-edge technology such as thermal imaging cameras, heart monitor watches, and fire-resistant helmet cameras, this semester’s graduating class recently celebrated a significant completion ceremony where friends and family gathered at STC’s Regional Center for Public Safety Excellence in Pharr.

“Successfully completing a fire academy requires discipline, dedication, and above all, courage. These cadets have encountered challenges from rappelling down a

The achievement, he said, is the result of a hard work mentality inspired by his father from young age.

Working odd jobs with his father at La Rosita, a ranching community near Rio Grande City, Botello said he was exposed to welding and machinery from a young age all while earning valuable work experience he said would help him in a future career.

Working on those dusty ranches, Botello said he would look at the various wind turbines in Starr County and began to wonder what career choice he would have to pursue in order to learn how to service them. A career as an electrician was the answer he was looking for, he said.

“I always wanted to work on wind turbines as a technician but lately I have also been looking at doing work as a line man, which involves working with power lines. In any case I knew the first step along with entering STC, was getting my Commercial Drivers License (CDL) because a lot of companies require you to have that license to do work on power lines,” Botello said. “That’s actually what I’m doing at the moment while I am taking my classes. That’s the job I am chasing right now and I’m one step closer.”

A standout student, Botello said he achieved a 3.5 grade-point average before graduating from Roma High School in 2023.

Botello said it was amazing to begin classes at STC Starr County campus’s expanded facility for electricians, which added 2,138 square-feet during the spring 2024 semester for a state-of-the-art lab and learning space.

“It has been amazing to use STC’s new facilities here on campus, which have recently expanded. Believe it or not, I had never even touched a wire before coming here, but I have learned so much, including how to properly and safely use the tools and do the electrical work this field entails,” Botello said. “I was a little nervous at the beginning, but I learned that instructors at STC start students from square-one. They don’t set you up for failure here, but instead they start you off at a comfortable level, at the basic level, so you can move up. I can tell that instructors here want the best for all students. I was just sure to make the most out of it.”

Botello was among the 3,500 graduates who received their degree in five ceremonies May 3 and 4.

“To succeed, I understand now that you have to push yourself, and you have to dedicate yourself and be responsible,” Botello said. “If you want something, you have to chase it because no one will chase it for you. I knew that if I got a good job, that would lead to an even better career and help me make a better living for myself.”

three-story tower to crawling blindfolded through tunnels and climbing a 100-foot ladder,” remarked Eric Ramirez, Fire Academy instructor and Lieutenant with the McAllen Fire Department. “These are aspects not widely known by many, yet crucial in training. It’s all in preparation to charge into buildings engulfed in fire, smoke and heat, embodying the true essence of what we are named after - firefighters.”

Joined by representatives from local fire departments including McAllen, Edinburg, Roma and Pharr, the eight graduates were honored for completing a rigorous 16-week training program and will now take the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) firefighter license examination next week as the last step to become certified firefighters.

“This isn’t your typical education. Every aspect of your life is truly tested,” said Ramirez to the graduates. “Some days you’ll be exhausted, angry, feeling down. Our calling is rooted in the reality that devastating things do happen, but our purpose is to minimize this damage. We carry these calls with us for the rest of our lives, whether we choose to or not, but firefighters are resilient. We’re always ready to go back and help.”

“I began volunteering with them in 2020, and I’ve grown to love the work, especially being able to help people,” the 19-year-old explained. “When I reached the eligible age of 18, they sponsored my education and provided transportation for me to commute to STC every day and complete my fire academy. Initially, I aspired to join law enforcement, but since the age requirement is 21, I pursued firefighting instead. I’m grateful I made that choice. Perhaps in the future, I can still attend the police academy to become a fire marshal, contributing further to my community in Starr County.”

For graduate and army veteran Fernando Perez, be-

coming a firefighter represents a continuation of a lifelong mission to serve and make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.

“That’s one of the main reasons I enlisted in the army shortly after high school, because I’ve always believed in the mission of helping people,” the 24-year-old he said. “I don’t really do things for money because at the end of the day, we die, and what’s left is our impact, the impact that we make. So, I want to be part of the change.”

He served for four years in the military, taking pride in reaching the status of Airborne, a specialized unit where soldiers are trained to deploy from aircraft by parachuting into combat. Being ‘airborne’ signifies that a soldier has completed rigorous training and are often part of elite airborne units known for their rapid deployment capabilities.

“I eventually decided to return home because I felt I had achieved many of my goals. I became a leader in my unit and gained valuable experiences, including parachuting from aircraft and deployment,” he shared. “Initially, I aspired to become a teacher. I looked up to them as a formative way to be of service and make a difference. However, I soon realized I desired a more active role.”

It was through a friend’s suggestion that Perez found out that the Pharr Fire Department was hiring. He was then hired and sponsored to attend STC’s Fire Academy program.

“I’m not one to believe in fate, but looking back, it feels like everything fell into place. Growing up, firefighting crossed my mind, and once I delved into what it entailed, I found it amazing,” he said. “STC has been fantastic. From experienced instructors to local fire departments sharing their insights, and a welcoming staff providing immense resources, it’s been a supportive environment. I’m prepared to enter the workforce, and I’m eager to return and volunteer.”

Thorn helped Alcorn State to back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference regular season championships in 2021-22 and 2022-23.

“DK is great,” Fennell said. “He won a lot of games at Alcorn State, winning two SWAC Championships there. He is hard playing, intelligent, can really guard and he is another guy that can shoot the basketball for us. He is another guy that can stretch the defense and play from the perimeter and make plays and make shots out there. You can never

have too many guys that can shoot a three and he is another one that does it at a high level. Bringing him and making him a part of this thing is massive for us.”

Last season, Thorn played in 29 games while making 14 starts and averaged 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game. Thorn shot 39.6% (86-for-217) from the floor and 36.0% (40-for-111) from three-point range while shooting 75.0% (30for-40) from the free throw line.

Thorn scored in double-figures 12 times last season, including eight times in his last nine games.

In 2022-23, Thorn played in 30 games, while making 20 starts, and averaged 9.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 26.9 minutes per game helping Alcorn State to an appearance in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) for the second-straight season. Thorn shot 40.6% (91-for-224) from the floor and 35.6% (48-135) from three-point range while shooting 84.8% (39-46) from the free throw line.

He scored in double-figures 13 times,

including a career-high 19 points against Arizona State and Jackson State.

In 2021-22, Thorn played in 20 games, while making just two starts, and averaged 1.5 points and 0.6 rebounds per game. In 2020-21, Thorn played in just five games and averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds a game after playing just eight games in 2019-20 due to injury.

Thorn lettered in basketball and baseball at Pearland Dawson High School and was an all-district selection after averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals as a senior. Thorn helped his team to back-to-back district championships.

Thorn joins K.T. Raimey and Cliff Davis as part of Coach Fennell’s first signing class.

CHANGING EATING TIMES TO REPAIR THE ‘BODY CLOCK’ MAY AID HEALTHY AGING

The body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, orchestrates our sleep-wake cycles, influenced by light and darkness. Disruptions to this rhythm can impact health, prompting researchers to explore strategies for maintaining its balance.

A recent study in mice has uncovered the intricate relationship between molecular circadian clocks in the brain and muscle tissue, crucial for preserving muscle function and health. Remarkably, the study suggests that altering eating times could enhance the function of these internal clocks, potentially promoting healthier aging in humans.

As individuals age, changes in sleep patterns and loss of muscle mass often coincide. The study sheds light on how these phenomena may be interconnected, offering

insights into potential interventions to mitigate age-related declines.

In the study, mice with disrupted circadian rhythms exhibited reduced muscle mass and signs of mitochondrial damage, indicative of premature aging. However, restoring the expression of a key clock gene in both brain and muscle tissue helped preserve muscle function, underscoring the importance of communication between these clocks.

Notably, implementing time-restricted feeding in older mice restored rhythmic gene expression in muscles, preventing further deterioration of muscle function. While these findings are promising, researchers caution that further studies are needed to confirm their relevance to human aging. Time-restricted eating, or intermittent

fasting, has garnered attention for its metabolic benefits, including weight loss and improvements in various health conditions. However, its potential to mitigate muscle aging in humans remains uncertain.

While the study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms and aging, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of time-restricted eating in promoting healthy aging in humans.

As our understanding of the body’s intricate clockwork continues to evolve, exploring the potential benefits of aligning food intake with circadian rhythms offers a promising avenue for future research. While the road ahead may be long, these findings represent a significant step towards unlocking the secrets of healthy aging.
