Soliz said “The good thingabout it was, a lot of the employ-ers who I spoke with said theyhadn’t been to a Job Fair that wasso well organized. They also saidthe number of people they wereable to visit with was incredible,”said Soliz.
Some local businesses at the JobFair included United Supermar-kets, Littlefield Feed Yard, Lowe’sSupermarket & Construction De-partment and Stripes ConvenienceStores.
Some businesses from Lubbockthat were at the Job Fair wereAT&T, City of Lubbock, GeneMesser Auto Group and TexasTech University Human Re-sources.

our programs. Also answer anyconcerns they might have, “likewhere am I going to get my nextcheck?” We have to go through aprocess. We put a team togetherfor business services throughWorkForce Solutions. We bring astate representative about unem-ployment insurance. There areother experts to help them figureall this out.”
Back in November of last year,American Cotton Growers an-nounced that they would be shut-ting their doors.
The closure resulted in 340
people losing their jobs at theLittlefield Denim Plant.
Soliz said they set up two ses-sions through Natalia Moore andBryan Gregory at ACG.
He said they agreed to have onein the morning and after lunch.Soliz said they talked to about140-150 people.
“We didn’t get to talk to all theemployees, so some of them gotthe information, and some of themdidn’t,: said Soliz. “The ones thatdidn’t get the information askedwhat they needed to do, but withtoday’s Job Fair, they get to find
out what they need to do.”Soliz said one of the questions
they are asking was, how far po-tential employees would be will-ing to drive for a new job.
“We use that to help find em-ployers that might be hiring, tocome to a Job Fair to try and makethat connection with the employerand the job seeker.”
Soliz said WorkForce Solutionswanted employers that were hir-ing, employers that needed to addto their workforce.
“Hopefully some of thesepeople will find a job and go to
work, because that’s what theywant. They don’t want to just keeplooking and looking,” said Soliz.
Littlefield City Manager MikeArismendez was at the Job Fairand said the City of Littlefield wasthere to do anything they could tohelp ACG employees.
“By walking around and takinga look, it seems like the Job Fairhas had an excellent turnout, andit just started!,” said the City Man-ager. “I’m hoping for about 400-500 people to walk throughtoday’s Job Fair.”
Arismendez said the City of
Littlefield knew the announce-ment about ACG shutting down,and the City of Littlefield knew itwas going to have to do somethingand help in any way it could toassist the employees of ACG.
“It kind of stretched out pastthat, and the Job Fair is also help-ing those other individuals whomight be unemployed in the areafind a job also,” said Arismendez.
Jillian Crawford, Human Re-sources Administrator with GeneMesser Auto Group said she waspleased with the turnout.
Crawford said they were hiringfor the company’s service depart-ment for their dealerships out ofLubbock.
“We interviewed technicianswho might need a job. We’ve hadsome stop by and had them fill outa general application,” saidCrawford.
She said they realize the driveto Lubbock might not be the bestfor all the applicants, so they wereletting them know the interviewswere going to be held in Lubbock.
Among those interviewing forjobs were Armando Sierra fromLittlefield. He worked at the plantfor 19 years.
Sierra said the closure shutdown hurt, but it’s just starting toset in with him.

This week I finally had to buymyself a new belt.
The last one I had...well, let’sjust say it disappeared without atrace.
Let me tell you how the caseof the missing belt began.
As our little ones, Diego,Emma and Clarissa get older, theyseem to think they can challengemy and Jessica’s authority whenthey act up.
Diego is eight, and to be fair,he’s a good kid. He listens. Itmight take me telling him morethan once, but after the secondtime, he usually gets it.
As for Emma, who is five, andClarissa, the four year old, let’sjust say I might have created twolittle monsters.
The word ‘no’ and they just ig-noring us when we ask them to dothings, is a pretty popular thingaround our home these days.
Growing up I still rememberthe glares my parents gave us any-time we didn’t listen.
Dad just had to look at us, andwe knew it was time to surrenderand shut up. Or do what he justasked us to do.
As for mom, she was the onewho gave out the spankings. Ortossed anything at us that closearound her when we she was toofar for a spanking.
The ‘mom targeting system’never failed her. She had an arm.
Jessica tells me stories aboutgrowing up and her parents beingthe same way. They acted up, theypaid for it.
When we decided to do thisparenting thing, we always talkedabout how and when we would dis-cipline our kids.
“I will never spank them likeMom did us,” I said. Wrong.
“We can get them to listenwithout having to go that routine,”said Jessica. Wrong again.
We tried time out. It didn’twork.
We’ve tried grounding them. Itdoesn’t work.
Most of the time, heck, all ofthe time, it didn’t work. The rea-son why; those two little prin-cesses know how to smile atMommy and Daddy and make itall go away.
Once that head droops andthose little itty-bitty eyes get alittle teary, I feel like a jerk. And
they are off the hook.It’s that simple.So now after all that, let’s get to
why I had to purchase a new belt.Dad not only used his belt to
keep his pants up, but he also usedit to instill fear. To this day, I re-member, and will never forget,when he actually used it on me.
The reason...let’s just say it in-volved a BB Gun, my older sisterand her leg. You can put that to-gether.
Just recently one evening, Jes-sica was at work, and I was athome with the kids.
It was during their Christmasbreak, and they, Emma andClarissa, seemed to be fightingevery time we turned around!
I gave them warning afterwarning...they didn’t listen.
So finally I knew it was time.The fear I had when Dad wouldstand up and start to grab for hisbelt always made me listen. Heck,it made all of us listen.
I had enough. I grabbed my beltand took off to the girls’ room,because they were fighting...again.
“Emma and Clarissa, this is it.I’ve had enough. Daddy has hadenough. It’s time for spankings,” Isaid.
With that, the belt went to work.I swear to all of you, the amountof force I used on their backsideswas equal to giving someone asmall pat on the back.
But I had put the fear in them Ithought (I didn’t).
Anyway, I walked back withthoughts of parental victory rac-ing through my mind, and someguilt also.
Five minutes later, they werefighting.
Time for the belt I said!Well, the belt was no where to
be found.And almost three and half
weeks later, I still can’t find it.Like mini professionals, these
two turned my belt into a JimmyHoffa mystery...gone without atrace.
When I asked them if they’veseen it, they both look at me andsay “No Daddy”.
I’m happy to report, this pastThursday I finally gave up hopeof ever finding my belt and justwent and purchased another one.
The only I can really say or thinkabout all this is...”How come Iwasn’t smart enough to do thatwith my Dad’s belt when I was akid?”
I hope you and your family havea wonderful 2015! I can already tellyou ours will be interesting, and Ipromise you’ll read all about it.
