January 2026

The January issue of Accent West invites readers to step into 2026 with clarity, intention, and fresh perspective. Anchored by our annual Area Financial: 2025 in Review & a 2026 Economic Forecast, this issue examines the forces shaping the Texas Panhandle — from agriculture and energy to housing, growth, and opportunity.
 
This month’s features balance insight with inspiration. Runnin’ the Route launches a new Route 66 journey with Dr. Mike Flores in Shamrock, blending movement, memory, and meaning. Destination: South Africa offers a reflective travel narrative into the wild — and the self. In Profile: Karen Roberts – Get Fit, we share a powerful story of discipline, resilience, and transformation.
 
Faith and reflection continue in One Square Inch: The Gift of Names, as Fr. Tony Neusch explores identity and calling at the turn of a new year. Departments and event recaps celebrate generosity, heritage, and the people who make the Panhandle strong — offering perspective for the year ahead.
