Join us this October in spreading awareness about cancer prevention and supporting those on their journey. Schedule that check-up, share your story, and help foster a community of hope and resilience.
October is Cancer Awareness Month: Debra’s Story of Resilience and Community As we mark Cancer Awareness Month this October, stories of hope and resilience remind us of the power of community in the face of adversity. One such story is that of a brave individual whose journey through colorectal cancer exemplifies strength, support, and the critical importance of early detection. November 9, 2023, Debra faced an uphill battle. Just days later, on November 20, she underwent surgery to remove the cancer, followed by two rounds of chemotherapy. Despite the toll it took on her body and spirit, she chose to refuse the last two rounds, a decision made with the knowledge that her recent blood work has come back negative. Now, a year later, she celebrates milestones with regular check-ups every three months, grateful for each passing day. “It makes me feel good,” she shared, reflecting on the generosity and kindness shown by her coworkers. “There were so many that contributed their sick time to me. Isa was the one who got everyone started helping me. She sold tickets and organized support. It’s so heartwarming to see how many people cared.” This sense of community extended beyond her immediate circle. Her boss was surprised by the overwhelming willingness of her colleagues to lend a hand. “It still touches my heart,” she says. “I can’t count how many there were, but I’m very grateful for each one of them.” Through her experience, she emphasizes the importance of patience and faith in the healing journey. “You can’t do anything other than follow the doctors’ advice. Patience and prayer—so much prayer—are essential,” she advises. Her journey also highlights a vital message: the importance of early detection. “I always tell everyone to get checked. I heard a colleague mention her annual colonoscopy, and I thought, ‘I’m at that age; I should schedule one too.’ It’s crucial, even if you don’t have symptoms.” Colorectal cancer, she warns, is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, often presenting no symptoms until it’s advanced. “Get your yearly check-ups,” she urges. “You never know, and that’s why it’s so important to be proactive about your health.” Her bond with her workplace, particularly with her team at Road and Bridge, has deepened through this experience. “I didn’t think my bosses would be so generous, patient, and understanding. I love my job,” she says, reflecting on the profound impact of support during her darkest moments. As we observe Cancer Awareness Month, let her story inspire us to support one another, prioritize our health, and encourage open conversations about cancer prevention. Early detection saves lives, and community makes the journey manageable. To all those fighting cancer and their loved ones, remember: you are not alone, and together, we can make a difference by considering sharing your own story to help inspire others fighting cancer in the comment section below.

Swinging for Hope: The Santa Rosa Classic 3-Person Scramble Brings Community Together The Santa Rosa Classic, an annual golf tournament held at the Reeves County Golf Course, has once again proven to be a beacon of hope and unity for the community. This beloved event, which raises funds to support the local church and various community initiatives, welcomed an impressive 37 teams and 108 enthusiastic players this year. Their combined efforts are making a significant impact, especially in the wake of recent challenges faced by the Santa Rosa Catholic Church. The pandemic in 2020 brought the tournament to a halt, but the resilience of the West Texas Catholic Communities and their partnership with the Santa Rosa Catholic Church has allowed the event to bounce back stronger than ever. Joseph Jaquez, the event coordinator, expressed his excitement about the turnout, noting that the funds raised this year will primarily support essential repairs to the church, which suffered fire damage a few months ago. "We’re hopeful that with the community's support, we can restore our church and reopen its doors soon," he shared. This year’s tournament was not just about the game; it was a celebration of togetherness and shared purpose. Participants, families, and friends gathered not only to enjoy the sport but to strengthen bonds and uplift one another. The funds raised during the Classic will play a crucial role in the rebuilding and remodeling efforts, ensuring the church remains a vibrant part of the community. Looking ahead, Jaquez has ambitious plans for the future. “It would be really cool we get like 72 teams!” he said. As the community rallies together, the Santa Rosa Classic serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and faith. With each swing of the club, participants are not just playing a game; they are investing in the spirit of their community and helping to restore a cherished landmark. Through prayer, hard work, and the unwavering support of local golfers, the Santa Rosa Catholic Church is on the path to recovery, promising to emerge even stronger. The Santa Rosa Classic exemplifies the heart of West Texas—where community, faith, and perseverance intersect to create lasting change.

The autumnal equinox marks when daytime and nighttime are roughly equal in length and beginning today nighttime becomes longer than daytime. The afternoon sun sinks lower in the sky and the decreasing radiation allows the earth to cool. Of course in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, we can still see some hot days here and there but the heat of summer is certainly behind us so it's time to get the cool weather clothes out from the back of the closet.

United in Resilience: Neighboring Counties Rally to Aid Sanderson After Tornado by Daniel Alvarado, Digital Media Director
United in Resilience: Neighboring Counties Rally to Aid Sanderson After Tornado On the fateful day of June 9, 2024, the small, tight-knit community of Sanderson, Texas, in Terrell County, faced an unprecedented disaster when a massive tornado tore through the area, leaving devastation in its wake. Homes were damaged, local infrastructure was crippled, and the community was plunged into darkness without power or resources. Yet, amid the chaos, a remarkable story of resilience and solidarity began to unfold. From the moment the tornado struck, it became evident that Sanderson was in dire need of assistance. The local fire department struggled to mobilize its fire truck due to a lack of generators, forcing firefighters to manually open the electric doors of the station. Triage operations were hastily set up in a small building across from the courthouse, but the power outage hampered their efforts, leaving first responders working by flashlight, determination etched on their faces. As day turned into night, the situation grew increasingly critical. With no operational 911 services due to power losses at the courthouse and sheriff's office, Pecos County stepped in to pick up the emergency calls, demonstrating the power of regional cooperation in times of crisis. Community members worked tirelessly to set up an evacuation station, relocating supplies to a local church where volunteers prepared meals for those displaced and in need. Day two saw the first signs of hope. The Pecos County Judge Honorable Joe Shuster quickly mobilized the Road & Bridge crew, sending them to assist their neighbors in Terrell County. Dedicated Reeves County Road & Bridge team members include Ramon Armendariz, Saul Gonzales, Noe Nunez, Francisco Sotelo, Phillip Stroup, and Randy Valdez, the crew brought heavy machinery and manpower to help clear debris and restore vital access routes. Despite machinery overheating and sporadic performance issues, their commitment never wavered. Local resident Jim Davis, who has called Sanderson home since 1959, expressed gratitude for the support. “When you live in a place like this, you know your neighbors. We’re family, and seeing everyone come together has been inspiring.” As Sanderson begins to heal, the unity shown by Terrell and Pecos Counties stands as a powerful reminder of the strength found in the community. In times of crisis, it is the connections we forge that help us rise from the ashes, inspiring resilience and hope for a brighter future. Conclusion The Sanderson Tornado of 2024 may have tested the limits of a small community, but it also illuminated the greatness of the human spirit when neighboring counties unite for a common cause. In the heart of Texas, they exemplified that even in the darkest times, together, they can rebuild, recover, and emerge stronger than ever.
