Featured artist because there are so many to be told. And at the same time, my mother’s health was declining. So, while I was walking and being excited to witness all this history, I was also taking care of my dying mother. The book is kind of an interviewing of all these diff erent stories,” she said. Armitage spoke about how the book allowed her a new perspective on her life and let her notice her surroundings and life in a way that she wouldn’t have previously noticed. “What happened during the course of these walks, and what (it) made me realize, is that I had some reckonings towards myself for the resentment that I was holding towards my family during that time that I was able to work through and release and forgive,” she said. Armitage’s book “Walking the Llano: A Texas Memoir of Place” and her other creations are available for purchase on her website at shelleyarmitage.com. e

‘Walking the Llano’ TEXAS INSTITUTE OF LETTERS RECOGNIZES FORMER WT PROFESSOR SHELLEY ARMITAGE FOR HER PANHANDLE MEMOIR Brianna Maestas Amarillo Globe-News USA TODAY NETWORK

Former West Texas A&M professor Dr. Shelley Armitage was recently inducted into the Texas Institute of Letters (TIL) for her memoir “Walking the Llano: A Texas Memoir of Place.” The memoir focuses on the Canadian River Valley in the western Panhandle, north of Vega, Texas. “This award was kind of a nice surprise for me. I always thought that the TIL was impenetrable because all the submissions are anonymously nominated, so for me to be nominated and recognized is a big deal,” Armitage said. Since 1963, TIL has celebrated Texas literature and recognized distinctive literary achievements among current and former Texas residents. The TIL’s membership consists of the state’s most respected writers – including winners of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, PEN/Faulkner Award, Academy Award, Americas Award, International Latino Book Award, Lambda Literary Award, MacArthur Fellowship, and Guggenheim Fellowship. Membership is based on ongoing and exceptional literary accomplishment. Sergio Troncoso, president of the Texas Institute of Letters, stated in a news release: “The Texas Institute of Letters continues to identify and honor outstanding writers from all literary genres. Our newest members have expanded literary audiences to include diverse voices and readers, and have opened minds with books that reconsider history and scholarship,” Armitage is professor emerita and former Roderick Professor at the University of

Texas at El Paso. Armitage was also a professor at the University of Hawaii, and WTAMU. She is a holder of several Fulbright professorships in American literature, and she has been awarded three NEH grants, an NEA, and a Rockefeller grant. She has published more than 50 refereed articles on subjects such as photographic criticism, the arts, popular culture, multicultural literature, and gender studies, along with eight award-winning books, with the most recent being “Walking the Llano.” Armitage currently resides in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and continues to manage the family farm and its native grasslands. Both are places that inspired her latest memoir that was inducted into TIL. The memoir follows Armitage over a year as she walks 30 miles from her family farm to the Canadian River over several summers, including Ysabel Gurule’s adobe house, a native American who befriended Armitage’s father. “That’s how the story started, looking at the arc of these two men’s lives and how they overlapped, my father and Ysabel Gurule, and then I thought about how my life overlapped with that, too,” Armitage said. “Along the way, I saw all this history, these ancient sights of the Comanche and Kiowa, and it was just incredible to see and experience. And that, of course, is when I started writing, and of course, I was faced with the challenge of how to write the story

AMARILLO ENTERPRIZE CHALLENGE REWARDS FOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES our local businesses were awarded a total of $399,000 from the Amarillo EnterPrize Challenge at a ceremony recently held at the WT Enterprise Center. Established in 1996, the EnterPrize Challenge is a WT Enterprise Center program funded by the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation that provides local businesses a chance to develop a plan to secure potential capital for investment. Companies to qualify must bring in 51% of their revenue from outside of the region. More than 100 businesses have received grants of up to $100,000 since the program’s inception. Thirteen businesses submitted proposals to be screened and prepared through group coaching workshops that helped

them develop investor fact sheets. Of those 13, eight were chosen to off er business plans, with six fi nalists accepted to personally present their business plans to a team of fi ve judges. Amarillo Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Kevin Carter spoke about choosing these four businesses for the awards. “These businesses are set for success; their business plans were very well done,” Carter said. “We believe the products they are selling will be a tremendous boost to our economy.” Three businesses were awarded $100,000 for their submitted economic plans. 11 Marketing + Design, owned by Walter Stellman, was awarded $100,000 for its Amarillo-based marketing agency. The company established in 2017 has grown

from a purely digital agency specializing in web design and marketing to a full-service agency that, while considering themselves experts in internet marketing, also deals with all forms of advertising available. Helping businesses of any size get found on Google business is its specialty. “This award will help fast-track our business because there are not a lot of people doing what our business does,” Stellman said. Brian and Ashlee Gwin, owners of Fat Mama Feeds in Amarillo since 2019, were also awarded the total grant amount of $100,000. Fat Mama Feeds buys, processes, distributes and delivers soybeans and deer corn to dealers, hunters, and big game ranches throughout the region. According to the owners, their product is currently the only 100% soybean feed on the market. The grant is to help them expand their propri-

etary business to bring more jobs and investment into the region. “We have some really big plans that are going to make the Amarillo Panhandle region a hub for wildlife supplemental feeds,” Ashlee Gwin said. The owners feel that they will grow their business and staff to take on a more signifi cant share of the market with this infl ux of funds. “We are fi nally going be building the facilities to be able to compete with major manufacturers of wildlife feed. It means growing, scaling and bringing jobs to Amarillo as a real company,” added Brian Gwin. Seth Bernard, the owner of Think Metal, a metal fabrication company in Canyon, was awarded $100,000 for its computer numerical controlled (CNC) fabrication process to create custom metal designs sold worldwide. The company specializes in metal art and signage primarily sold via ecommerce. Think Metal opened in 2015. More than 90% of its product is sold outside of the Amarillo region. Spearheading the company’s entry into the challenge was Thomas Cunningham, general manager. “We are still a relatively small company and growing; the funds from the EnterPrize Challenge are going to project us to the next level,” Cunningham said. “With these funds, we are looking to expand to create more jobs and revenue for the Amarillo region.” Receiving a $99,000 award to expand their company was Vvntus (pronounced ven-tus), owned by Matt Garner and Jason Herrick. The Amarillo-based company, founded in 2021, researches, develops and

manufactures food for animal feed and human food, specializing in food additives that specialize in increasing healthy meat and dairy production.

“This recognition is a validation of our hard work,” Garner said. “This will allow us the ability to solicit investors to help increase our market and create more jobs.” Gina Woodward, interim executive director of the WT Enterprise Center, said, “The Amarillo EnterPrize Challenge has done so much to contribute to Amarillo’s growth over the last 25 years. Helping to grow local businesses that are bringing in money from outside the area and in turn growing our economy is a win/win for everyone.” e

Beginning to

rebuild Brianna Maestas Amarillo Globe-News | USA TODAY NETWORK

W

hile many families and individuals have been aff ected by fi res throughout the city and region recently, one Amarillo man is working to rebuild his whole life. Brooks Rogers, 90, lost his home of 70 years in the “Cadillac Fire” on Feb. 21. Rogers is currently staying in a hotel funded by the Red Cross while everything settles. The Cadillac Fire got its name because it was near the Cadillac Ranch public art installation and sculpture, which lies across Interstate 40 from the neighborhood where the fi re burned through four homes and 11 outbuildings.

Remains of the homes burned in the Cadillac Fire still smolder the following morning, Tuesday in the Indian Hills Neighborhood. NEIL STARKEY

Man loses home of 70 years to Cadillac Fire


The grass fi re burned an estimated 143 acres before it was brought under control through the help of multiple agencies and fi rst responders. Overall, nearly 250 other structures had been threatened during the fi re — 96 homes, 18 commercial buildings, 98 outbuildings and 37 other camper vehicles. Thick, black smoke could be seen for miles, and charred land and debris could be seen the following day. Despite the damage and quick spread of the fi re, no casualties or injuries were reported. “Someone has to be watching over me,” said Rogers, who is both hearing and visually impaired. He was working in the shop behind his home when a couple of his friends alerted him about the fi re. “I had no idea what was going on. My friend had seen the grass fi re and came to fi nd me,” Rogers said. “They said we had to go now and helped me grab some things and got in the car. If it had not been for them, I don’t think I’d be here.” According to Heather Sottile, one of Rogers’ longtime friends who arrived to help, they grabbed Rogers’ medications and two outfi ts before leaving the home that was engulfed in fl ames 30 minutes later. “The fi re was a couple houses down. We didn’t think to grab much more than him and the few things we did. ... If we would have been there longer and continued to get things out of the house, I don’t know if we would have made it out of there,” Sottile said. “The possessions are just possessions. It will take a long time to get him back to where he was, where he was as independent as he was, but we can replace that. We can’t replace him,” Sottile said.

A system to live on his own Rogers has been visually impaired his whole life with Ushers Syndrome and had lost all vision approximately 50 years ago. He lived in the house since its creation in 1966. He had perfected his system, which allowed him his independence to focus on some of his hobbies that include travel, history and his role as an antique gunsmith. “A lot of history was lost in that house. He’s all about history. In fact, when we went out to the house, the fi rst thing we found was his grandfather’s World War II helmet. It was just laying there, on top of the ash and rubble,” Sottile said. “The only thing still standing was the chimney and mailbox in the ash,” Rogers said. Computer software allowed him to navi-

gate the Web and browse his favorite online pastime, eBay. A scanner read aloud his mail, and puff paint on his stove helped him control the heat when cooking. Rogers’ system allowed him his everyday independence in his home in the Indian Hills Neighborhood. “I have some of the most wonderful friends, and one good thing out of all this, is I’ve gotten to realize just how many friends I have,” Rogers said. “So many people have reached out to me to help. I’m not used to it, but they tell me that now it’s my turn to

take.” Rogers’ current goal is to gain back a computer and the two computer software programs, JAWS and Open Book, paired with a model 100 Cannon fl atbed scanner to allow him some independence again, and then to work to rebuild his home.

to make this thing happen? I think we can, and I think we have the right people to make it happen. This is a community project,” said Jimmy Lackey, Kids Inc. president and CEO. Kids Inc. is receiving a 90-acre land donation from Rockrose Development, located south of Loop 335, between I-27 and Coulter Street, to create the complex. “We couldn’t be more excited.

In another news conference, Lackey announced its offi cial name, the Rockrose Sports Complex, after the Rockrose land donation, as well as three separate $2 million donations made by Amarillo National Bank, Caviness Beef Packers, and an anonymous donor.

Our goal is always to invest in the communities that we serve, and Amarillo is our community.”

“We’re joining other local philanthropists on one of the most important projects of our generation, and we want this gift to provide incentive and momentum to this project because it will benefi t our children and the community as a

whole,” said William Ware, president of Amarillo National Bank. “It’s something our city has needed for years, and we’re losing families, employers and talents to other cities because we don’t have a complex like this,”

Ware said. “Kids inc. has been successful for 77 years now. Most recently, they completed a project similar to this in another town, and it’s real successful. ... This will no doubt do the same for Amarillo as well,” said Regan Caviness, vice president of Caviness Beef Packers. Then, Toot’n Totum added a $1 million donation of its own, announced by Kids Inc. as the

fundraising campaign continues full speed. “For Toot’n Totum to step up and help us in this way means the world to us. And they are encouraging others to do the same, and that’s just as important. ... I don’t have a tangible way to say ‘thank you’ other than to say thank you,” Lackey said. “We’re planting a crop that is going to fl ourish for many years for children and families in this community for years to come.” “Our goal is always to invest in the communities that we serve, and Amarillo is our community. It’s where we were founded in 1950, and we are going to continue to do everything that we possibly can, not only for this community, but also the Texas Panhandle,” Andrew Mitchell, vice president of operations and fuel with Toot’n Totum said. Lackey said that he plans to keep the momentum and has other donations in progress.

He added that this project is truly a community eff ort. “It takes everyone participating in this in whatever capacity or level they can. I mentioned Brad’s Deal going on a hike across the Grand Canyon and taking pledges that are benefi ted to us. It all adds up. Wing Stop came to the offi ce the other day and handed us a check for $5,000 to go to this. We didn’t ask for that, but they all count. Every single donation adds up to what this complex will be,” he said.

Project outlined in construction phases Lackey spoke about the project in two phases. Phase 1 will include a $30 million outdoor complex with approximately 60 acres of lighted synthetic turf sports fi elds, for sports such as baseball, softball, and soccer. He said they choose synthetic turf for its low maintenance and timely turnaround after rainfall. According to the Kids Inc. president, thus far, Kids Inc. sits well past 30% in acquired funds for Phase 1 of the sports complex. Lackey said he was confi -

dent that once the funding was acquired, they could have Phase 1 of the complex completed within an approximate seven-month timeline. “Hypothetically speaking, if we had the funds by July 1, I’m confi dent that we’d have it out and ready to play on by next spring,” Lackey said. After the completion of funding raised for the outdoor complex, the committee then plans to move on to Phase 2, which will consist of the creation of an indoor facility that is being designed to include a track as well as basketball and volleyball courts. Kids Inc. also planned to dedicate fi eld space to Amarillo College’s intercollegiate sports. Mark White, director of intercollegiate athletics for Amarillo College, said in a news release: “We are thrilled to be included in this much-needed facility. ...This wonderful facility gives us a fi rst-class place to practice daily. Having this turf fi eld for practice is also a great recruiting tool.” Individuals can view a promotional video of the complex or a 3D virtual tour online at www.kidsinc.org/complex. e

PROFFER AESTHETICS Business Philosophy

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of care available to help our clients look and feel younger so they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy skin, all at an affordable price.

What is the secret to your Business’ success?

Our number one secret to success is our staff and estheticians. We hire only the best of the best, based on their professional skills, results, and customer service. Our team is passionate about educating each and every client about skin care and helping them reach their goals.

What makes your company stand out?

Many med spas are owned and operated by doctors with little-to-no formal training in aesthetic care. At Proffer Aesthetic Center, our supervising doctors have over 50 years of combined experience in cosmetic/plastic surgery and dermatology. Very few medical spas can offer this level of oversight. This, combined with our highly trained and experienced estheticians, allows us to offer the most effective, customized treatments available in a safe environment.

Our Core Values 1. 2. 3. 4.

Listen to our client’s concerns. Develop a customized treatment plan for each client. Never be satisfied until the client is satisfied. Be available when questions or concerns arise.

Plans for the Future

We plan to continue to provide the best procedures for skin health and rejuvenation and incorporate the latest technologies and treatments for our clients.

How we give back?

1. Partnering with other quality local businesses 2. Serving as guest speakers for organizations to discuss skin health and rejuvenation 3. Supporting multiple local charities through sponsorships

The A.R.T.S. of Healing EXPLANATION OF THE TWO SPECIALTIES: Many people suffer from allergies, asthma and a variety of rheumatologic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthritis. These are our specialties at Allergy A.R.T.S., but most people don’t understand the connection between all these conditions. Many of these conditions are related because they are disorders of the immune system. Your immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues and organs that

Constantine K. Saadeh, MD, FAAAAI, FACR

work together to protect you from disease and infection. It helps your body recognize these “foreign” invaders. Then its job is to keep them out, or if it can’t, to find and destroy them. If your immune system cannot do its job, the results can range from relatively mild to severe and debilitating. Even when occurring at moderate levels, we understand how these conditions can affect your health and well-being.

An allergy is a reaction by your immune system to something that does not bother most other people. Its symptoms are usually a reaction to an allergen or irritant. Dr. Saadeh is board certified and recertified in both allergy/ immunology and rheumatology. Such continuing commitment to excellence and current best practice is vital in the delivery of up to the moment standards of care. He has additional training in his specialties for both pediatric and geriatric patients. He follows American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and United States Pharmacopeia guidelines in mixing his patients’ allergy serum; all done under the

safety and purity of a laminar venthood. Rheumatologic conditions are autoimmune diseases which cause your immune system to attack healthy cells in your body by mistake. Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body. Dr. Nicole Davey-Ranasinghe is a young, progressive face at Allergy A.R.T.S. Her fresh perspective, commitment to the practice of medicine, and twenty-first century approach, are all lending great rheumatology expertise to the lives she serves. She maintains current board certification and recertification as indicated in her specialty of rheumatology.
