To prevent dangerous situations out in the field, police departments across the Panhandle have been working together to create safer ways for officers to perform their jobs. Carson County Sheriff Loren Brand placed this image on his offices Facebook page to show that while many public safety officers may be taking extra measures to protect each other and the public they serve, he and other officers in the Texas Panhandle area have no intention of quitting their jobs in law enforcement. We back each other up whenever possible, Brand said. We have a job to do, and, we will continue to do it.

For sophomore Madison Friemel, today was anything but a regular Wednesday. Since I had to get my (driving) permit six months before my birthday, I was up until 10 (p.m.) finishing all of my work! Friemel said. This morning Friemel went to the Amarillo Department of Public Safety and earned her right to drive with any licensed driver who is over 21. Many Groom students will face the same challenge this year. It was very nerve-wracking to take the test, Friemel said. I wasnt sure if I would pass or not, but I did!

Now I have a small shoe box in my closet that I fill with letters from myself and from others, along with pictures and small items that bring back memories. I hope that someday when I am feeling a little lost or nervous, I can open that box and relax a little. For me it is like a little evolution up from that silly angry letter I wrote to myself.
