PLANNING PARKING ARRANGEMENTS. Several members of the
Comanche County Commissioners Court, some visible in the
background on the far left, met after Monday’s Commissioners
meeting on March 10 and discussed where to relocate the county’s
Emergency Management mobile command center truck and trailer,
seen in the foreground behind the courthouse annex, in order to
free up parking spaces for annex workers. |
COMANCHE -- A relatively light and
routine agenda awaited the attention of the Comanche County
Commissioners Court at its regular meeting on Monday, March 10.
Nevertheless, a controversy over
parking space at the courthouse annex and the Sheriff's
announcement of his plan to lay off jailers provided some
elements of interest in the meeting.
All members of the Commissioners
Court were present: Commissioners in Precinct order - Garry
Steele, Kenneth Feist, Bobby Schuman and Jimmy Dale Johnson -
with County Judge James R. Arthur, presiding.
Other county officials and employees
present included County Clerk Ruby Lesley, County Auditor Joey
Boswell, Sheriff Jeff Lambert, Chief Deputy Chris Pounds, County
Attorney Craig Willingham, County Treasurer Billy Ruth Rust,
Emergency Services Coordinator Ray Helberg and his assistant
Trish Grimshaw, Adult Probation Supervisor Regina Johnson and
Dispatch Supervisor Tammy Poteet. >>Full Story<< |

My name is Cameron Canterbury and I’m
running for mayor. I am the son of Joe and Adele Canterbury, and a
2007 graduate of DeLeon High School.
The reason I’m running for mayor is to
bring fresh, new ideas to our city government. I believe that the
younger generation has a lot to offer, and if I’m elected I will do
my best to implement some positive changes. |

ICY
WEATHER CRASH. According to DPS Trooper Sergeant Frost, the
Saturn sedan in the foreground was being driven eastbound by
Teresa Prado. The time was around noon on Thursday, March 6, and
the weather was a winter mix of sleet and freezing rain, which
was still falling when the photo was taken. Prado apparently
lost control of her vehicle while crossing the Armstrong creek
bridge in the background, and skidded into the path of a
westbound Dodge dually pickup pulling a long trailer with
shipping containers driven by E.B. Erd of College Station.
Prado’s car apparently hit the truck and trailer twice while
spinning. The truck then skidded off the road and ended up
against trees and the bridge abutments, and can be seen in the
background. Amazingly, there were no serious injuries. There
were two adult and one child passenger in Prado’s car and Erd
was driving alone. Three were transported to CCMC, treated and
later released the same day. |
