Donna Turnbow, one of DeLeon’s newest
police officers, was born in Germany and traveled extensively with her
military family, but calls Rotan, Texas home.
“I was born on an army base,” Turnbow
said. “My dad was in the military, and my mother’s dad was in the
military. We traveled a lot but we moved to Rotan in about 1976, so I
consider that my hometown. I graduated from there in 1989.” >>Full Story<< |

ALIEN
INVASION? These wind generator towers look other-worldly, but
they are part of better than a dozen such structures visible in
the hills north of Desdemona, with more under construction. Soon
they will be sprouting large propeller blades and producing
pollution-free energy and other financial benefits for the
landowners and taxpayers. Another wind farm is planned to be
constructed in 2009 on the hills between Comanche and Brownwood.
Texas now leads the nation both in megawatts of installed
wind-powered generating capacity and in additional generating
capacity under construction. Wind farms are expected to generate
just over 1% of the total U.S. power in 2008. |
