New Sheriff Takes the Reins in Winkler County
WINKLER COUNTY--A week after losing their long-time sheriff, the new long arm of the law has taken over. He's no stranger to law enforcement or to Winkler County.
Sheriff George Keely brings with him decades of experience and already has some ideas of where he wants to take his new department.
"The commissioners court appointed Chief Deputy George Keely, as Sheriff of Winkler County," County Judge Bonnie Leck told NewsWest 9.
A Texas native with over 30 years in law enforcement, Chief Deputy George Keely got a unanimous thumbs up from county commissioners. He's taking up the reins where the former sheriff left off.
"That's what we've been elected to do or hired to do. Therefore, it's our job and we continue and move forward. I expect things will just continue on and I foresee no problems," Judge Leck, said.
With a family history of law enforcement, Keely was a police officer in Los Angles and also spent some time in Pampa, Texas, before making Winkler County his home, 18 years ago.
Sheriff Keely says he's been thinking about this particular office for a while now. His plans were in a holding pattern, pending the retirement of former Sheriff Robert Roberts. Now, fate has slipped the gear into fast forward.
According to Keely, "I'm excited about being sheriff. I would have liked it to have been under different circumstances. However, it is what it is and I'm going to make the best of it and I'm going to move forward."
Keely said it himself, everyone has different management styles. His is more hands on. While he doesn't plan on making any major changes, he said there are a few things he does want to tweak a little bit.
"When I say tweak it, I would like to get a grant, down the road, to get a deputy in the schools. The youth are our future," Keely added.
Also on the wish list, a new K-9 unit and getting his deputies more involved in the community. Keely says, the way he sees it, law enforcement is a business and his deputies are salesmen, "They're selling the hardest product in the world to sell, law and order. We're going to move forward doing just that. We're going to re-establish ourselves with a new sheriff and new management team."
With dreams of someday being in this position all his life, Sheriff Keely says, it's time to put the past behind and move on toward the future and county commissioners agree.

I’ve often heard it said that if you want to create music that’s timeless, you need to write soul tunes. Or blues. Something with a heritage and something with feeling that will not go in and out of style when the times change.
And that’s exactly what designer Ryan Feerer does well. Using simple, but incredibly strong, typography, texture and color, he’s able to create designs that are modern, classic and timeless. Having worked on a wide range of projects—including the compilation Dark Was the Night —we were pretty stoked to ask this guy some questions.
Nathan Ryan: First, I must say, your work is quite incredible. It’s got this very playful feel, but it can’t help but be taken seriously. It has a very endearing kind of Northwestern quality to it—if that makes any sense. And, for me, that begs the question: Do you drink more coffee or more beer?
Ryan Feerer: What would any creative do without coffee?! Definitely can’t do my late nighters without it. For me, coffee=having so much work that I need to drink it in order to finish it. And beer=I don’t have enough work, woe is me. I remember buying an espresso machine in my college days and making myself caramel macchiatos ’til the wee hours of the morning. Those things take a while to make. All that being said, my answer is coffee. But, I’d never turn down an Innis & Gunn.
NR: What does your typical process look like?
RF: I’ll have my beverage at my side, prop my feet up, lean back on my couch and then think and draw and sketch. Then I sketch some more. I don’t know where I’d be without my sketchbook. If I’m in a creative slump I’ll flip through old books or take a drive around town and look at old signage. I try not to be too influenced by the work around me. I think having a knowledge of what’s out there is extremely important, but you need to be cautious about it. We need, as creatives, to know the history of what we do and how we got to where we are today. If you have a good understanding of that, I think you’re more inclined to create something the least bit unique. Unique or original is hard to come by… All we can do is try.
NR: Have you ever lived in a suburb? If you have, what was your experience with it? If not, where are you from?
