After receiving numerous thank-you letters
from local students on September 11 of this
year, Borger’s Police and Fire Departments
were finally able to offer a proper thank you
on Friday as school administrators organized
a 5th grade assembly so that officers and fire-
fighters could express thanks in person.
After a brief introduction, nearly a dozen
uniformed firemen and police entered the
small gymnasium and were met with excited
gasps and enthusiasm from students, especially as Eros the police dog made his appearance
alongside his partners in law enforcement.
“We wanted to say thank you very much for
the letters you wrote on September 11.” Lieu-

Borger Police Department - In the early hours of
Friday October 2nd , Jarric Weber was found alive
and well. Weber was taken to a local hospital and was
evaluated and released. We now know that no foul
play was involved and are thankful that he was reunited with his family. We are continuing to investigate details surrounding the day he was unaccounted
for.
We would like to thank everyone involved in the
search. There were numerous volunteers that came
out and proved helpful with the large amount of
area we had to cover. In addition to the volunteers
numerous agencies were involved in the search. The
Hutchinson County Sheriff’s Office and Borger Police Department ran a joint investigation that would
not have been as seamless without the help of the
other agencies that responded. Borger Fire Department provided a large amount of resources necessary for the ground search. Texas Parks and Wildlife
brought in a tracking k-9 team. National Parks Service at Lake Meredith sent a team trained in tracking of individuals. We worked with Amarillo P.D. in
following up several tips that came in. Texas DPS
provided assistance as did several volunteer fire departments. Volunteer agencies included Hutchinson
County, Fritch Fire and Stinnett Fire.

As the question and answer portion of the assembly
began, a local student name Colin asked the inevitable
question, “What do you guys need dogs for?” With all
eyes on Eros, Strope chuckles, “I had a feeling that
would be the first question.” He continues, “This is
Eros, and Eros’ partner Sergeant Fields. Eros is a narcotics detection dog, and he’s able to smell things that
humans are not able to smell. He can smell the same
types of things as us, but he can smell them a whole lot
better than we can. He’s able to detect things that we
may not be able to pick up... if someone brings something they’re not supposed to have at school, Eros can
help Sergeant Fields find it.” The next question was just
as inevitable considering the black german shepherd’s
charm. “No you can’t have him.” Stope laughs, “His
training costs quite a bit of money, and his partner is
quite fond of him. They make a good team.” He explains, “The dogs are trained in an extensive training
program using known scents... If the dog is also trained
to find people, they’re trained the same way... They send
someone off somewhere, and when the dog finds you,
they let him know he did a good job. We reward the
dogs the same way you guys get gold stars in class, the
dogs like that as well.”
With all the talk of search and rescue, the next question came as no surprise as one student asked about
Thursdays search efforts, and whether or not they had
succeeded in finding the missing Jarric Weber. “Yes we
did.” Stope announced to a relieved assembly, “Most
of the people here today were out last night and we had
quite a few volunteers and first responders. Trooper Davis here actually got to fly in a helicopter for a few hours
and search from the air.” Stope concludes, “It was hard
work, but it was worth it.” After officers and firefighters
watched a video of students hand crafting their letters of
thanks, the gathered first responders gave one last heartfelt thanks before leaving to continue their tireless work
within the community.

the library which serves
the city of Borger and the
residents of the county.
According to Wilkinson,
there have been visits to
the library by engineers or
other building specialists.
It is hoped that the county
will be able to come up
with a plan and repair the
library or move it to a new
building soon.
In this world where
everything comes with a
price, the local library is
one of the last free activities on the map, and with
it, the imaginations and
education of the entire
county is bolstered. The
library offers information,
books, internet access,
and other vital services for
country residents that cannot be found elsewhere.
What’s more, the library
is part of a network that
allows patrons to request
special books that will
then be available to them
at no charge through the
library.
Regardless of the future
of the library, it’s clear
that local Altrusans support it’s mission to make
information
available
for all inquiring minds.

There are a lot of veterans in the patriotic Texas
panhandle, and many organizations that work to honor
them. There is however, one endeavor designed to bring
the veterans that have sacrificed so much for the nation to the nation’s capitol itself. This week more than
40 veterans and their family members and volunteers
traveled to Washington D.C. To tour Congress, and the
mutiple memorials that commemorate their service and
sacrifice.
The Texas Panhandle Honor Flight, which is organized and sponsored by the local chapter of America
Supports You Texas (ASYT), is a national program that
began a decade ago as a project to offer WWII veterans
an all-expenses-paid overnight trip to Washington D.C.,
to the memorials in their honor. Today, the these flights
honor America’s veterans by paying for and transporting groups of veterans from all over the country to see
the memorials designed and erected to honor their service.

“It was a wonderful experience, a really, really wonderful experience,” he said, “They treated us good, they
didn’t rush us through anything, we ate good, slept

Yesterday, in the nation’s capitol, U.S. Congressman
Mac Thornberry (R-Clarendon) hosted the group for a
special tour where he had the opportunity to speak to
them on the floor of the House. “I consider it a great
privilege each year to meet with veterans from our area
that visit Washington as a part of the Texas Panhandle
Honor Flight,” Thornberry said. “It’s an opportunity for
us to show them around the very democratic institutions
that they sacrificed so much to protect. We were happy
to welcome these veterans, their family members, and
many other wonderful volunteers who made the Flight
possible.”

(March 21 to April 19)
Your home routine will be interrupted today. A small appliance might
break down, or a minor breakage could
occur. Be patient with family members,
especially females.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day
for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Don’t push the
river. Go gently, gently, gently.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Keep an eye on your finances today,
because things are bit unpredictable.
You might find money; you might lose
money. Guard your possessions against
loss or theft.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
This is a restless, unpredictable day.
Guard against knee-jerk reactions to
people and events around you. Take it
easy, and create a little buffer to protect
yourself.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You might feel impatient, edgy and
nervous today because you have that
sense that you’re waiting for something
to happen. Keep your wits about you.
VIRGO

A female friend or acquaintance
might say or do something that shocks
you today. Don’t overreact. On the upside, you might meet someone who is a

LIBRA

Relations with authority figures are
shaky today. You might feel offended
or caught off guard in some way. Whatever happens, don’t quit your day job.
Just ride this one out.

Travel plans will be canceled,
changed or interrupted for some reason
today. In fact, dealings with foreign
countries and people from other cultures will surprise you somehow.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Stay in touch with your bank account
and your assets, because anything you
share with others might change suddenly today. Stay on top of things so
you have some control.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
A partner or close friend might do
something that is unusual today. Or
someone might demand more freedom
or space in the relationship. Whatever
happens could make you feel uncomfortable.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Computer crashes, canceled meetings, staff shortages and equipment
breakdowns are just some of the reasons that your work routine will be
interrupted today. Allow extra time so
you have wiggle room.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day
for your children, which means you
have to be extra vigilant. Likewise, it’s
a dicey day for romance. Be patient and
thoughtful.

It’s easy to allow the world and all its problems
to get to us. We often walk around with so many
burdens on our backs that one feather more and we
simply snap! That happened to me this last weekend.
I let my emotions get carried away with me and the
results were toxic – not only to myself but to those
around me! After the fallout, I watched a movie down
at the Morley that ministered to me and brought me to
understand some harsh realities about things I needed
to change in myself.
Like Elizabeth in the movie The War Room, I
held onto bitterness regarding expectations I had
for someone who is a part of my life. Though my
relationship with this person was not as a partner
– I still expected things from this person, which on
the surface, didn’t seem to be out of the ordinary
considering the circumstances. However, I had
allowed my own preconceived notions about them to
let my feelings toward them to become bitter, angry
and judgmental; just as Elizabeth had in respect to her
husband Tony in the movie.
When conviction hit me regarding my prayer life,
my thoughts and actions toward this person also
punched me straight in the midsection and made me
realize that, like it or not, I needed to pray for this
person! Clara’s conviction regarding prayer doesn’t
just work for couples; it applies to everyone in our
lives! So, I found my own prayer closet and began to
pray for the one who weighed so heavily on my heart.
While I didn’t eat chips while I sulked in my prayer
closet, I realized I needed to let go of my burden and
let God handle it!
Forgiveness is a powerful, freeing feeling. We
need forgiveness to move on with our lives, to let go
of the past and for our emotional and physical health.
I went through several sleepless nights and a migraine
to finally admit that I needed to do what was right. So,
in closing, I highly recommend watching The War
Room now showing at the Morley Theater. Secondly,
forgiveness and prayer, when followed hand in hand,
can create a level of peace in your life you might not
have known.

Making “Sunshine Week” Every Week
By Kevin Goldberg
American Forum Op-Ed
The Tenth “Sunshine
Week” ended about six
months ago, on March
21. This annual celebration of open government
was created by the American Society of News
Editors with a grant from
the John L. and James
S. Knight Foundation.
Now co-sponsored by
ASNE and the Reporters
Committee for Freedom
of the Press, Sunshine
Week is intended to highlight the importance of
open government around
the country. All indications pointed to the fact
that this year’s Sunshine
Week was one of the best
yet. In Washington, DC
and throughout the coun-
try, people found new
and innovative ways to
make people think about
transparency (my personal favorite was the
brewing of “Sunshine
Wheat” beer – the first
beer of Sunshine Week).
Even
government
agencies embraced the
spirit of open government for those seven
days. One could take a
field trip every day to
an agency event touting
their success with regard
to transparency and disclosure of government
records and information.
Media outlets also
were doing great things.
Highlights included opeds on the importance of
open government by Associated Press President
and CEO Gary Pruitt and
by Eric Newton, Senior
Advisor to the President
of the John L. and James
S. Knight Foundation.
There were also print
and online stories on the
barriers to access, editorial cartoons and a video
segment
highlighting
some of the most egregious FOIA delays in existence.
Fantastic. But now six
months down the line,
what has been the net effect?
Sunshine Week was
created because of a perception that people don’t
truly appreciate the importance of open government, in part because
there was little to no discussion of the issue itself. Sunshine Week was
intended to make people
stop taking transparency
for granted, but not just
for a week. We don’t
stop being American
when the clock strikes
midnight on July 5. So
why does it feel like
government, media and
citizens don’t commit
to transparency for the
51 weeks until the next
Sunshine Week (which,
for those looking ahead,
will be held from March
13 to 19, 2016)?
In some ways, Sunshine Week undercuts its
own success. The Congressional Committees
with jurisdiction over the
federal Freedom of Information Act, the House
Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform
and Senate Judiciary
Committee, have largely
fallen into a pattern of
holding one and only
one hearing relating to
the federal FOIA every
year – during Sunshine
Week. And that’s if
we’re lucky.
As processing delays
and unnecessary invocation of FOIA exemptions diminish the law’s
true utility for those who
need meaningful information from government
agencies in a timely
fashion, Congress should
be asking more questions
of agencies on a regular
basis. Congress, the media and the public need
to take note as executive
branch agencies increasingly try to “control the
message” by limiting unfettered access to staff or
by only allowing staff to
speak “off the record” or
“on background.”
Not pushing back
against these abuses allows the government
to, in effect, manipulate
Sunshine Week for its
own gain. In fact, many
agencies have their playbook down pat. Show
up when asked to testify by a Congressional
Committee and endure
the hot seat for a couple hours and/or hold
a public event during
Sunshine Week, making
sure to say all the right
things about transparency and throwing out a
few numbers to “prove”
that your FOIA backlogs
have decreased. Release
a few “high value” datasets (which aren’t really
all that high in value at
all) to show you are being “proactive.” Make
it through the week and
then most everyone is off
your back until the next
Sunshine Week.
Quite often it works.
Don’t believe me? Look
at what the White House
did this year. On March
13, 2015, two days before Sunshine Week
started, it announced that
the White House Office
of Administration would
no longer be subject to
FOIA. Granted, this was
not a violation of law, as
a federal court had ruled
six years before that this
office is not subject to
FOIA. But the simple
fact is that both the timing and the action itself
smacked of contempt
for open government
and should serve as a
reminder that no government will ever authentically embrace truly open
government, except perhaps within the confines
of the one week in which
they know all eyes are on
this issue.
Government agencies
tend to act like a boxer
“stealing a round” when
it comes to transparency.
There’s a grand flourish
when they know it will
score big points. But we
need to refrain from giving them the champion’s
belt for such tactics; at
best, they deserve a participant’s medal. Yes,
government
agencies
need to do a better job of
committing to transparency 365 days a year, but
so do those pushing them
to do better. It’s time to
really take what we’ve
learned during Sunshine
Week and use it the rest
of the year. We still have
time to accomplish that
before next March.

Undefeated No. 14 Texas A&M
hosts Prescott, Mississippi St
COLLEGE STATION,
Texas (AP) — As Mississippi State quarterback
Dak Prescott prepares for
Saturday's game at No.
14 Texas A&M, he's in a
much better place than he
was the last time he visited
Kyle Field.
When Prescott played
the Aggies on Nov. 9,
2013, it was just days after
his mother died of cancer.
Prescott missed practice
that week and didn't start.
He came in early and
threw for 149 yards and
two scores and ran for 154
yards. He and the Bulldogs were unable to overcome a five-touchdown
performance by Johnny
Manziel in the 51-41 win
by the Aggies.
"I'm completely different, night and day,"
Prescott said. "That was
a stressful time in my life.
It was a big game coming
off of (my mother passing
away) ... I'm excited to go
back again. It's another
road trip but I'm planning
for different results."
No. 21 Mississippi St.
(3-1, 1-1 SEC) are coming
off a win over Auburn. No.
14 Texas A&M (4-0, 1-0)
is looking for a 2-0 start
in conference play for the
first time since doing so in
the Big 12 in 1997-98.
Prescott is off to a solid
start this season and has
completed almost 67 percent of his passes for 1,069
yards and seven touchdowns. He's thrown 191
straight passes without an
interception, a streak that
is the longest in the nation
and the sixth longest in
SEC history and that dates
back to the Orange Bowl.

The Borger tennis program took care of business on the road Thursday
afternoon in Pampa winning 12 of their matches.
The final total was Borger
winning 12 matches and
Pampa winning seven.
The Lady Bulldogs ten-
nis team started another
undefeated streak winning
all nine of their matches.
Head tennis coach Mike
McGonagill said “I was
especially excited about
Shelby Huffine. I was
proud that Shelby won
her singles and doubles
matches.” “She worked
very hard in the offseason
and deserves these two
wins.” Huffine’s doubles
partner was Bianet Urizar
and coach McGonagill
claimed she played “fantastic” on Thursday.
The Bulldogs will take
Pampa on again in Borger
on October 15th at approximately 4:00 p.m.
Saints coach Payton
expects QB Brees to start
METAIRIE, La. (AP)
— Drew Brees is expected to return as starter for
New Orleans against the
Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night in the Superdome, Saints coach Sean
Payton said Friday.
"We're planning on
starting him, based on
the work week," Payton
said after practice. "He's
thrown well. I thought he
looked sharp today."
Brees missed the
Saints' 27-22 loss in
Carolina last Sunday because of a bruised rotator
cuff in his right (throwing) shoulder. The injury
occurred on a hit in the
second quarter of New
Orleans' Week 2 loss to
Tampa Bay. Brees never
took himself out of that
game, but did not appear
to perform at his normally
high standard, finishing
24 of 38 for 255 yards, a

Jordan Spieth wins PGA Tour player of the year
PONTE VEDRA
BEACH, Fla. (AP) —
Jordan Spieth was voted
PGA Tour player of the
year Friday, giving him a
sweep of all the significant awards.
The PGA Tour does
not disclose how many
votes Spieth received
from the players, though
the 22-year-old Texan
removed any suspense
last week with his fourshot victory in the Tour
Championship to win the
Fed Ex Cup.
Spieth had five wins
this year, including the
Masters and U.S. Open.
He is the youngest player
since Tiger Woods (21)
to win the Jack Nicklaus
Award as player of the
year. Spieth also won the
Arnold Palmer Award by
topping the money list
with a record $12 million,
and the Vardon Trophy
for having the lowest adjusted scoring average.
"You don't recognize it,
I guess, as the year goes
on, and when you kind
of look at it and review
you can see exactly what
we've done," Spieth said.
"It's an honor ... because
it was our MVP of our
league. And it's voted on
by the players. And for
them to recognize the
hard work that we've put
in and what we've been
able to do with it is truly
special, and I thank all the
players I look up to."
Daniel Berger was
voted rookie of the year.
He was the only rookie
to qualify for the Tour
Championship.
Since the FedEx Cup
began in 2007, Woods is
the only other player to
sweep the awards, win
a major and capture the
FedEx Cup and its $10
million bonus.
Just two years ago,
Woods received the Jack
Nicklaus Award for a
record 11th time. He
was presented the trophy
at Torrey Pines to start
the 2014 season, and he
shared the stage that day
with Spieth who was the
2013 rookie of the year.
Spieth looked over at
Woods' trophy and said,
"Now it's time to chase
this other award."
It didn't take long.
Spieth set the 36-hole
record at Augusta National and tie Woods' 72-hole
mark at 18-under 270
with his wire-to-wire victory. He became only the
fourth player since 1960
to win the first two legs
of the Grand Slam when
he won the U.S. Open at
Chambers Bay. And he
was tied for the lead at the
British Open through 70
holes until a bogey on the
17th hole. He finished one
shot out of a playoff and
was runner-up to Jason
Day at the PGA Championship.
3 MLB games postponed as Atlantic faces rain and wind
NEW YORK (AP)
— Three major league
baseball games were postponed Friday as the East
Coast faced steady rain
with Hurricane Joaquin
swirling in the Atlantic.
In New York, the Mets'
chase for home-field
advantage in their opening playoff series was put
on hold when their game
against the Washington
Nationals was called off.
They were scheduled to
play a split doubleheader
Saturday.
The New York Yankees' game in Baltimore
and the Marlins-Phillies
game in Philadelphia
also were rained out and
rescheduled as part of
doubleheaders Saturday.
However, that schedule
may be in jeopardy as
rain and wind are forecast
throughout the weekend.
The weather had already
postponed racing on
tracks and grass Friday.
The U.S. National
Hurricane Center said
Joaquin's threat to the
East Coast was fading as
new forecasts showed it
likely to curve out into
the Atlantic while moving
north and weakening in
coming days.
So the NFL said it
expected the Washington
Redskins' home game
against the Philadelphia
Eagles to be played as
scheduled Sunday at 1
p.m., though added it
would continue monitoring the weather and
be prepared to adjust if
necessary.
touchdown and an interception.
Brees then did not
throw during practice
in Week 3, but started
taking first-team snaps at
practice again this week,
saying on Wednesday that
he planned to steadily expand the variety of throws
he attempted as the week
wore on.
"He looks good. He's
been throwing it good and
having good zip on it,"
said Saints running back
Mark Ingram, a regular
passing target out of the
backfield in New Orleans'
offensive scheme. "He
must be feeling good.
Brees is officially
listed as probably on the
injury report. If Brees
does start as planned, he'll
return to a club that is 0-3
and in desperate need of a
victory.
