COMANCHE -- After a marathon meeting two
weeks earlier, the Comanche County Commissioners held a relatively
brief meeting on Monday, June 11, with a relatively light agenda for
consideration.
County Judge James Arthur presided and
Commissioners Garry Steele, Kenneth Feist, Bobby Schuman and Jimmy
Dale Johnson attended and participated. Other county officials
involved in the meeting included County Clerk Ruby Lesley, County
Auditor Joey Boswell, County Treasurer Billy Ruth Rust, County Sheriff
Jeff Lambert, County Emergency Services Coordinator Ray Helberg and
County Constable Mark McDonald.
Following the invocation and approval of
the minutes of the previous meeting, the first order of business was a
request from Regina Johnson, head of the 220th District Court's
Community Supervision and Corrections. Johnson requested that
emergency law enforcement pager buttons be available to her staff of
adult probationers, the same as is currently installed in various
courthouse offices. >>Full Story<< |

FIRE
DEPARTMENT BBQ. The annual DeLeon Volunteer Fire Department
BBQ drew many hungry, and grateful, residents last Saturday night,
including Peggy Penn, Janice Simpson and Pete Penn. Behind the
table, helping to serve (along with many other DVFD members not
pictured), was Chief Doyle Rone. Chief Rone reported that although
total numbers were down this year, the fund-raiser resulted in a
net profit of $4,500 for the department. He also reported that the
money would be used to help build a new brush fire fighting truck
with foam capabilities. |

LUCKY!
Although it’s hard to believe from looking at this photo, the
driver of the pickup above, John Fair, of DeLeon, escaped this
two-vehicle accident with only minor injuries. The driver of the
other vehicle, Toby Morris, of DeLeon, also received only minor
injuries. Morris’ vehicle, not visible in this photo, landed
upside down on the opposite side of the road, some distance away
from the scene. The accident occurred last Friday afternoon, June
8, on Highway 16, just north of Comanche. Comanche County
Commissioner Bobby Schuman was one of the first people on the
scene and immediately called for law enforcement assistance and an
ambulance, and also directed traffic. |
